Story time.
A couple years back when times were spicy, friends of mine deployed to Afghanistan and found stuck themselves on a janky outpost stood up in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. At night at said outpost, it tended to get super dark really quick and for a long time, as the mountains were very tall and blocked out much of the moonlight until it was higher in the air. For our fellas, it wasn't so bad due to them having NVGs. However, for our "friendly counterparts", it made pulling guard duty rather difficult and actually caused some problems. Thus, the fellas installed two very large spotlights that could be used to illuminate the area in front of the gate and around the forward area of the outpost.
One glorious summer evening, two pals were standing guard, looking out to the vast open stretch of absolutely nothing important in front of them. A few hours into their shift, they spotted some shapes moving around just beyond a few berms. At the time, they were sharing duty with some "friendly counterparts" and said counterparts wanted my friends to spotlight the moving bodies to verify that it was just some sheep or something moving around. A valid request.
However, the two pals were a bit hesitant. They could see. They knew what was beyond the veil. But, after some discussion and a pair of "fuck its", they pivoted the lights and flipped the switch.
Welp. There certainly were some sheep. There was also the shepherd to said sheep.
To leave out the extra details, the sheep and the shepherd were close enough to exchange DNA and the two were now beneath two giant beams of light powerful enough to change 0% illum to 100% full daylight.
He was not laughing. Everyone else was.
