    "The Pakistan ranger put on a masterly demonstration of how angry you can get without hitting anything."
    That was where I cracked up.

      Nicely avoided any Ministry of Silly Walks references because that would have been in poor taste.

    The first time i saw this live on the border i just burst into uncontrollable laughter yet it was exhilarating. Both Indians and Pakistanis worked like brothers there. Both did an excellent job and excited their crowd into national spirits positive to both sides. i wish someday i can go to India.

    I love this video. It is amazing how the soldiers on both sides of the border must work so closely together to make it happen. It's a great example of international cooperation between two countries who are normally enemies.
