An Army company is marching through a dusty valley when they see a single Marine in dress blues on a hilltop saluting the sunset. The Army CO gets rather pissed that this Marine is engaged in such a frivolous activity while his Soldiers are humping through the dust, and he looks too good doing it as well.
"Cpl, take a fire team up there to kick that Marine's ass", he orders.
The fire team goes up, the Marine steps behind the hill and all hell breaks loose. Screaming, bones breaking, and pleas for mercy. Then silence. And the Marine returns to the hilltop and pops his salute back to the sunset.
The CO orders a squad up there with the same result and he's really getting pissed now. He orders an entire platoon up the hill. This time the same thing happens, only a few stragglers come crawling back over the hill yelling, "Get back, get back! It's a trap! There's two of them!"
