I've seen two platoons open up in the middle of the forest before. It's not a pretty sight.

No one gets hurt, of course, they're only blanks. But it's pretty ridiculous when they go through the drill. First both sides take cover, then they fire at targets that are no longer there.

And when they charge, they run in a straight line, just like they're supposed to. Sometimes they run at each other simultaneously. Then they stop about five metres away from each other and look stupid.

And someone always says "Hi, how are you?"

And then they realise they're all on the same side.
