Out on patrol during a field training exercise!

My squad was out during a night training exercise where we were supposed to sneak up and attack an enemy position without being detected and then get out without being followed. So, we got to our objective and hit it without being detected, took a prisoner (We were not supposed to so and not in our orders being they were US soldiers training too, (but it was part of our gamesmanship to do so), and destroyed our target. As we evaded the search party of the enemy training brigade, I told the prisoner we took to stay silent, or I would real life gag him as if it were a real-world war and not training, and if he did, I would buy him a steak dinner. He co-operated and we got nearly back to our lines when the adrenaline rush ended, and we all had to take a leak. So, I gave the quiet order (Sound discipline) to stop and relieve ourselves. Even the prisoner peed. One modest fellow soldier of mine had to find a place to pee not to be seen even though it was dark as we all just stopped and peed. So, we were well done when he found his modesty spot to pee at. I snuck up behind him looking over his shoulder as I shined my flashlight down at his junk whispering in his ear "Are you going to piss out of that thing or sew with it"! He jumped and pissed all over his boots and legs while screaming "Fuck you, you mean ass German bastard" taking a shot at my heritage. We were summarily captured by our own soldiers from our lines minutes later as the rest of us even our prisoner was laughing our asses off.

I am American with a German last name and German immigrant father, and that label stuck with me hard.
