Being ex-Military myself, I can relate to the humor. Humor that might seem extreme, callous or dark to civilians, especially to those with no military experience, is a psychological pressure-relieve valve.
Normal men in abnormal stressful situations like life in a combat zone, use what many civilians might consider abnormal humor to vent stress, to cope. In a manner difficult to articulate, it's actually a way for normal men -and women- to put their current environment in a mentally containable, handleable context.
It'd be a very interesting for psychologists and psychiatrists with military and combat experience (if such could be found) to do a study of humor in such contexts.
There was a famed comedian, I think it was Red Skelton, who once said something to the effect that much of his comedy was on things that could also be cried about.

I work for the Marine Corps. Believe me, it's normal.
