Sorry, Sweden...

I mean every country has its own jokes...

Like in Finland in the coastal army barracks ( we have Swedish as our 2. language ) it´s a story to tell that there´s an order 5 minutes to 6 a.m. "everybody to their own beds!" as at 6 o´clock it´s wake up time!

G'day

Speaking of smart-ass. In Holland a referee during a soccer match send of one guy, but the guy thought he was treated unfair (as always).
He went over to the referee and gave him a big (French??) kiss. He then said "If I'm being f***ed, I also want to kiss."
You know, men

Colin, as the others have said, it's just "boys being boys".

I don't remember the part you're talking about but I figure one of them was complaining about something like the mud, or the rain, or wet boots, or bad food, or the rain, or being lost, or wanting to go home, or the rain, or the officers, or the supply sergeant, or the rain
(isn't it amazing how so many grunts complain about the rain)

What they're basically saying is " poor little boy, wants his mommy to tuck him up in bed nice and safe and kiss him goodnight" So you get the "kiss kiss" sound/lips
