(CBS) - It's important to laugh no matter where you are. This is doubly true for the men and women in the armed forces. Serving in Afghanistan is some of the most challenging duty imaginable. So why shouldn't soldiers have a little fun? And if that fun involves a Javelin missile launcher? Even better!
