Being British, and having met some ex soldiers, this is absolutely a believable story.
Edit a day later : fuck you for posting this OP, I’ve had this shit stuck in my head all day.

Succubus: a female demon that preys on men.

Love the “not entirely in jest” part of
It is often referred to by crewmembers (not entirely in jest) as “the most important piece of equipment in a British armoured vehicle”.

I went to the Bovington Tank Museum which I absolutely recommend and sat in a Chieftain and yes it had a teapot
Having hot water on hand can be pretty important in a warfare context…
Totally true story
I refuse to accept this a bullshit. This sounds like NCD.
Who was in the Leopard 2? I think the Brits use Challengers and the US Abrams. The Leopards are German and exported to a few countries?!
I think Leopard 2 must have been the callsign. Also, unless I’m mistaken we didnt send any heavy armour to Afghanistan?
The US had tanks in Afghanistan, I’m not sure about the Brits. They weren’t used nearly as extensively as MATVs/MRAPs but they were there.
I’ve just checked, we (the uk) didn’t deploy heavy armour to Afghanistan. So as funny as the Op is, I feel like it might not be true…
At least Denmark and Canada had Leopard 2s in Afghanistan that were involved in combat. So maybe the “Brits” were just fancy Canadians.
A guy I knew in high school kept talking about using Abrams tanks to clear out the Al-Qaeda cave networks
I still think about him sometimes
I hope he fucking died, moron
And Vengaboys is a Dutch band, so the whole thing is a bit of a mishmash.
Brits use Challenger 2. Also, the M1is called the Abrams, not Abraham
That tank commander?
Don’t hit me with them negative vibes, Moriarty!
It’s a mother beautiful bridge and it’s gonna be there
It’s still up!
BOOM
No it ain’t.
This cracks me up every time I see it.
Thank you for your cervix
Sounds like a party.
