Humor in the middle of a war: US soldiers in Afghanistan re-make a Lady GaGa video

So, I heard about these guys while listening to NPR on the way to pick up my son from daycare, and I couldn't wait to get back home to look up their video on YouTube... a couple of soldiers and their buddies stationed out in Afghanistan managed to film a re-make of the Lady GaGa "Telephone" video.

This video is AWESOME!!! I think I replayed it 7 or 8 times in a row and found myself and my 3 1/2 yr old dancing with these soldiers... in the living room swinging our arms and hips, doing the hand motions, and in the end, falling on the couch laughing and clapping. After a while, I realized it wasn't that this video was just some silly spoof, but that this was put together by a bunch of soldiers in the middle of a drawn out war where the casualties keep adding up. It's the fact that in the middle of this, these guys manage to find levity and humor.

After you watch the video, check out the Facebook page someone made for Aaron Melcher (the main soldier in the video) and their YouTube "channel" where you can read all the amazing reactions these guys have received and even post your own comment.

Whether you agree or disagree with the war, whether you like or dislike Lady Gaga... this video is just fun to watch... especially when you realize that in the middle of all the violence, these guys manage to hang on to their humanity.

Happy Monday!
Joyce

PS - Thanks Mary! Sorry, we don't know who the original author is.

Thoughts From a Male Perspective:

• I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
  
• More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.
  
• Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
  
• I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to have fun.” Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?
  
• I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
  
• The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase “Regards” again.
  
• Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.
  
• There is a great need for sarcasm font. (My personal favorite! -J)
  
• Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f*** was going on when I first saw it.
  
• I think everyone has a movie that they love so much; it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the only one who really, really gets it. (ahem Zoolander)
  
• How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
  
• I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
  
• I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
  
• The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.
  
• A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
  
• Was learning cursive really necessary?
  
• Lol has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”.
  
• I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
  
• Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
  
• My brother’s Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, “Cuz we beat you, and you hate us.” Classy, bro.
  
• Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.
  
• How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?
  
• I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
  
• While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.
  
• MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
  
• Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
  
• I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
  
• Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
  
• I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
  
• Bad decisions make good stories
  
• Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if I do!
  
• Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
  
• If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
  
• Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from; this shouldn’t be a problem….
  
• You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
  
• Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.
  
• There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
  
• I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
  
• “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.
  
• I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There’s so much pressure. ‘I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?’
  
• While watching the Olympics, I find myself cheering equally for China and USA. No, I am not of Chinese descent, but I am fairly certain that when Chinese athletes don’t win, they are executed.
  
• I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Darnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
  
• I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
  
• When I meet a new girl, I’m terrified of mentioning something she hasn’t already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.
  
• I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
  
• Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…
  
• As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
  
• Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
  
• It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
  
• I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
  
• I think that if, years down the road when I’m trying to have a kid, I find out that I’m sterile, most of my disappointment will stem from the fact that I was not aware of my condition in college.
  
• Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn’t know what do to with it.
  
• Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I’d bet my a$$ everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time…
  
• My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?
  
• It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
  
• I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
  
• I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
  
• I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
