It pisses me off how everyone thinks the kid is now scarred for life. The kid knows the guys were just being funny, plus the pin wasn't even pulled. And even then it's not like he has never seen assault rifles.
I actually found it funny, the video. The soldiers have probably seen a guy's intestine, they deserve a laugh.
Fun fact: you also need to pull off the handle IIRC for the fuse to start.
It was probably pretty dangerous for a kid to be hanging out there.
This. American soldiers are pretty big targets for terrorists, anyone in the general area of a US soldier is probably not safe.
