Not quite sure how to treat this video

IED Hunter

I have to wonder if this is a complete spoof or connected to actual troop training in some sick way.

Did you ever see Steve Irwin?

The video is a spoof of 'Crocodile Hunter', complete with ersatz Australian accent.

Yes. Many times.

And this guy has him nailed. In my viewing the video and audio don't sync properly so, at times, I thought Steve's expressions were dubbed in. But, this one's a bit low budget obviously. I know it's been seen that our soldiers do some goofing around at times and perhaps this is one of them. I have to wonder if such gets the approval of their commanders.
