Good morale is the backbone of any unit, especially when living under the constant shadow of artillery fire and the chaos of battle. Dark humor becomes a lifeline, a way to stay grounded in the madness, and nothing brings soldiers closer than a shared laugh—often at the most inappropriate times. The relentless barrage does something to your sense of humor, twisting it into something both gritty and absurd. Dick jokes, banter, and that unbreakable sense of brotherhood forge bonds that keep spirits up even when everything else is falling apart. In a place where you never know which laugh might be your last, humor becomes more than just a coping mechanism; it’s a reminder of why you’re all fighting side by side.
