I remember listening to a podcast from a NYT reporter near the start of the Russia/Ukraine war. This lady went to Russia and started interviewing draftees right outside of the recruitment offices.
May not be a war torn battlefield, but that definitely takes some balls.
When I was in the navy I went to a barcade and decided to buy around 1000 little army men. I managed to hide about 200 of them and I still have buddies telling me they found another.
