Marines from 1st Battalion, 6th Marines are captured on camera cracking jokes and flipping the bird to Taliban fighters in the middle of a gunfight in Marjah.

What appears to be an interpreter catches the moment members of the 1st Battalion, 6th Marines, C Co display irreverent humor in the face of their opposition. While at any moment any one of these Marines could catch a stray round from the Taliban, it is exactly this type of commando humor that allows members of the ground combat element to make it through their every day situation while deployed overseas.
