The Ground is Made of Lava!!

Cool little viral for a more than worthy campaign.

Before deploying overseas, we had a day of lectures and presentations on land mines where they drilled it into our heads what various mines looked like, what they could do to a vehicle, to a person, etc., and that getting complacent was the thing that would get you blown up -- the day that (after, say, four months of always walking the extra 100 meters to a known safe passage through an area no wider than a city street) you try taking the shortcut. I remember walking outside afterward and imagining having to be afraid of the ground -- so strange.

Another story: one of our crusty old quartermaster sergeants, now retired, was in the former Yugo around 1992 when it was hot. He is said to have gone on a blind drunk one night and zigzagged around outside in the dark for a time, shitfaced, before he fell down and ended up sleeping where he was. When he woke up in the morning he found he was lying in the middle of a minefield. Maybe it was apocryphal... but I'll believe it. God looks out for saints and fools.
