Army posts St. Patrick’s Day-themed video showing exploding clovers
The U.S. Army on Saturday commemorated St. Patrick’s Day with an unusual video showing exploding four-leaf clovers.
The video, posted to Twitter, features a montage of spent ammunition and exploding bombs bursting into clover-like plants. Breaking up the scenes is footage of a dancing soldier overlaid on the colors of an Irish flag.
“We appreciate how everyone wears a little green like us today,” a tweet on the Army’s official account reads.
Happy #StPatricksDay from the #USArmy.

This is incredibly offensive. Delete.

Others seemed generally unamused or even perplexed by the video.
