And when I get to my job, I drive a 1500 horsepower tank. And it’s a lot more fun.’ SOUNDBITE IN ENGLISH Sgt Florian German Army Engineers ‘We as the engineers, we destroy and create at the same time.' SOUNDBITE IN ENGLISH Sgt Nathaniel Iloanusi US Army Engineers 'You jump out of big machines, helicopters and everything like that. It’s just a great experience.' SOUNDBITE IN ENGLISH & LITHUANIAN PFC Anelius Vzuotas Lithuanian Army Engineers ‘In the Lithuanian engineers we say that “Negailėk prakaito, brolių gyvybę saugai.” So in English it means, “Don’t be afraid to sweat, you’re saving your brother’s life.”'
