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.

Others seemed generally unamused or even perplexed by the video.
