I was wondering if any of you guys knew any humerous military escapades, whether they be modern or historic. I just read this in a book about the English Civil War.
(Going To The Wars, The experience of the British Civil Wars, 1638-1651. Charles Carlton.)

[quote:c4e7c]After Captain Starker had captured Hoghton Tower, Lancashire, he and his troops inspected the loot. One Cavalier was so impressed with the huge stash of gunpowder that he lit his pipe, blowing up the arsenal, as well as himself, his Captain, and sixty of his comrades.[/quote:c4e7c]
Ibid, p208
