This video claims to be the first French troops to land in Iraq but I have my doubts as it is a little to convenient. Anyway this guys arrive on a landing craft and do their little "lets secure the beach" manuever. However it all goes wrong when they discover they just landed in a bunch of quicksand (or at least really really fine silt). They just keep jumping off the board and flinging themselves into the quicksand. The video ends with a whole crew of people trying to drag them out of the mud.
Watch these poor bastards become mired in quickstand for a good time! Source: Big-boys.com |
