It's not bastardisation if you're enjoying the pain and humiliation. The character tied up in this video was a prankster himself. Warning: There's a lot of bad language in this one, but it is better to express your frustrations verbally with something, than physically on someone. Never saw anyone punched or otherwise assaulted on the gun line in my time. Even in the years before I was allowed to carry the camera along. Our detachment teams and gun sergeants were too squared away with their drills for that. But you do hear rumours from elsewhere in the unit. This is from a month-long exercise in Hawaii called Pacific Bond, where our battery did an exchange with a US Army battery who travelled to Robertson Barracks in Darwin. This occurred in 2002. It could be said their experience in Darwin and our time in Hawaii contributed to the current rotational arrangements between our country and their Marines. So infact, you could also say we were early Australian Ambassadors on this trip for future Aussie-US relations. I'll be putting that on my CV for the job hunt anyway.
