In this old, arguably vintage clip from back in the day, we see a team of Iranian special forces operatives putting on a display of the martial prowess they forged in the fires of grueling training and the relentless pursuit of physical supremacy. The very tip-top of the military brass look on in speechless wonder as the operatives put on one hell of a show, before them and all their peers, during a special military ceremony.

But the real star of the show, the real demonstrator of unbreakable resolve and indomitable spirit, is that f**king vase and whatever it's made of. Whether it can be entirely chalked up to "technique" or whether it's the material of that vase, what ensues has to be one of the most intensely embarrassing scenes in military history.

We can't say what, if any, repercussions were laid on the soldiers for their less-than-stellar display, but we can rest assured that the vase is probably going to outlive us all.
