Arnold Schwarzenegger spent some time exploding land mines with U.S. troops in Kuwait while promoting his charity for underprivileged children.
The website Heat Street compiled the former California governor’s Snapchats from his military escapades into a video, which shows Schwarzenegger blowing up a land mine from a tank, promoting troops and generally being in awe of the men and women serving overseas.
“I just cleared my first land mine,” he said in one Snapchat. “Think about that for a second. I can tell you that this is why I have so much respect for these guys who do it all the time for a living.”
One Snapchat featured Schwarzenegger and a group of soldiers wearing “Come with me if you want to live” shirts, a nod to his famous “Terminator” line.
The shirts are meant to raise money for his charity, After-School All-Stars, which provides after-school programs for children.

Before arriving in the U.S., Schwarzenegger served in the Austrian military in order to fulfill that country’s one-year service requirement.
