Humvees failed airdrop

VIDEO: Soldier Who Deliberately Destroyed Airdropped Humvees Found Guilty, Discharged

A former U.S. Army sergeant has been found guilty for his role in a stunt that led to the intentional destruction of three Humvees dropped from a cargo plane during a training exercise. They hurtled to the ground after their parachute strings were severed.

Sgt. John T. Skipper was convicted in a general court-martial hearing Wednesday of three counts of “destroying military property with a value of more than $500” and providing a false official statement, Christian Marquardt, a spokesman for the 7th Army Training Command, told NPR in a statement.

The chaps on the ground seem highly amused by the spectacle.
