Well, actually, Spam. But close enough.
The “cavalry scout” bit is how it’s being advertised at LiveLeak. How they know he’s legit, I’ve no idea. Do most cavalry scouts wear big honkin’ gold rings and sound like Harland Williams trying to do a Brooklyn accent?
No matter. The mere possibility is probably enough to give St. Sully chest pains.

Pork?
Is Spam actually food?
Slublog on February 8, 2007 at 5:33 PM
Pork ‘em up, I say!
MDBTCB on February 8, 2007 at 5:34 PM
Islamic terrorists are going to hell anyway . . consider it, insurance.
heroyalwhyness on February 8, 2007 at 5:34 PM
Spam is the food of the Gods.
EnochCain on February 8, 2007 at 5:36 PM
That camouflage is a civilian version of the new digitals, mostly found out of a US Calvary catalog.
Whoever it is, One word: Poser.
Strangely, I don’t disagree with his sentament.
Mazztek on February 8, 2007 at 5:37 PM
Seriously, why isn’t the pork=kryptonite ace-in-the-hole being employed against islamoterrorism both domestically and abroad? Packing a 6 ounce fetal pig in formaldehyde on every airliner after 9-11 would have spared us the ravages of the TSA.
Valiant on February 8, 2007 at 5:38 PM
Spam: Pork Shoulder and Ham. Some snout, eyes, ect…
Yummy when cubed, seard, and mixed into eggs for an omlette.
Mazztek on February 8, 2007 at 5:38 PM
I’m guessing from his “CLP” reference that he’s for real; he’s certainly familiar with the military, or at least with firearms.
As for the clip – am I supposed to be amused or offended? I can’t decide.
I do know this: when liberals see it, they’ll shriek and gnash their teeth … and never notice the irony that the bullet to the head isn’t a big deal … but coat it with spam and it’s a war crime.
Professor Blather on February 8, 2007 at 5:39 PM
So some filthy towel head who cannot grasp the concept of toilet paper, is not unclean until he’s blasted with a pork-laden bullet?
Oh yeah, it’s their culture…
JackM on February 8, 2007 at 5:39 PM
i used to put chopped spam in my mac and cheese. it was good! something to be said for having a brick of nearly unspoilable meat you can take a chunk from now and then.
jummy on February 8, 2007 at 5:39 PM
My son is in the Cavalry and who ever this punk is he is no TROOPER. The ‘carry-on’ is the give-away. If you have ever been around the Cav you will know exactly what I mean.
Limerick on February 8, 2007 at 5:40 PM
Carry-on soldier! My kinda vid ala Blackjack Pershing. This made my day.
infidel on February 8, 2007 at 5:46 PM
I’m pink, therefore I’m Spam. Or maybe, Haram.
flipflop on February 8, 2007 at 5:50 PM
So, if a jihadi puts a bulk mail folder in his robe, will it stop the bullet?
Mazztek on February 8, 2007 at 5:54 PM
http://www.snopes.com/rumors/pershing.htm
Please quit attributing unproven rumors behavior to American military personnel. They are consummate professionals and this is not encouraged. In addition, the more that rumors like this are perpetuated, the more likely that if our men and women in uniform are captured they will be treated in the most inhumane manner because the enemy will believe this is a government sanctioned policy.
If a military member were doing this type of thing, you can bet that they would be corrected quickly by supervisors and commanding officers.
Bradky on February 8, 2007 at 5:54 PM
There is a barbeque rib joint in my city that has a wonderful barbeque pork aroma that you can smell a half mile away. No Muslims have moved within a mile’s radius of the place.
More rib joints, I say.
Perchant on February 8, 2007 at 5:55 PM
Worse than they already are, Brad? Please.
Allahpundit on February 8, 2007 at 5:57 PM
I understand a British General in the 19th century packed his bullets in pig grease when fighting the Mahdi’s army and it stopped the enemy cold.
ahem on February 8, 2007 at 6:01 PM
YEAH! Even if he isn’t Cav, this should be SOP.
Iblis on February 8, 2007 at 6:02 PM
AP,
I’m not defending the barbarity exhibited by the terrorist/insurgents. I’m simply asking someone to quit perpetuating a myth and giving reasons why things like do bring added risk to our military folks. The whole hearts and minds thing Bush advocates.
Brad
Bradky on February 8, 2007 at 6:04 PM
To be fair, Brad, all he said was “ala Pershing” – as in referencing the popular legend. Not exactly “attributing” anything.
And to be realistic, in past eras wars weren’t quite as P.C. as they are now. I wouldn’t exactly be surprised if there’s some truth to the rumor. War is ugly. Even the good guys do some ugly stuff. Sometimes its even necessary. Read up on some of Grant’s Civil War tactics sometime. Ug-ly. And effective.
You do know that Snopes called the rumor “undetermined,” right? They just think its unlikely – as do I:
For the record, if I thought one American life could be spared by doing this kind of thing, I’d invest in a pig farm myself and send over the meat for free.
Professor Blather on February 8, 2007 at 6:05 PM
I’m not accusing you of defending jihadis. I’m just curious as to how this is going to put our troops in greater jeopardy than the jeopardy they’re already in as illustrated in the photo posted at that link.
Allahpundit on February 8, 2007 at 6:06 PM
Bradky,
Then you must be royally outraged at this idea:
I don’t know if they actually went thru with this but I haven’t noticed as many suicide bus bombings in Israel since this was publicized back in 2004.
I’m pretty sure it would have violated the civil rights of the suicide bomber though…and we just can’t have that.
Perchant on February 8, 2007 at 6:08 PM
Off topic – Fox News is reporting that the Dems have doubled down. Since they can’t get their disapproval resolution through, apparently Reid has tapped Kennedy to lead the effort to stop funding.
So does this mean Liebs will finally come over to the dark side?
Laura on February 8, 2007 at 6:09 PM
I’ll try one more time to articulate this. It may not help with this current set of terrorists but there will be other conflicts and the more that our military maintains a reputation of being professionals at all times.. the better for all concerned. During the occupations of Japan and Germany in WW2 there were initially many fears by the Germans and Japanese because of the propaganda during the war (we would eat their babies, rape women, etc.) but the proven compassion and conduct of our troops won over an entire generation in both countries and made establishing a stable Europe and Pacific easier.
Maintaining that reputation is helped greatly when we don’t pass on those rumors.
We may not win the hearts and minds of the terrorists but if we win the hearts and minds of the mideastern people, there will be fewer and fewer places of safe refuge for the terrorists.
Bradky on February 8, 2007 at 6:15 PM
I’ve heard from reliable, yet anonymous, sources that this “Calvary scout” is none other than General Glenn “Blood and Guts” Greenwald himself.
blogRot on February 8, 2007 at 6:16 PM
Laura,
i noticed that as well. I love Reid’s response to the question of why he picked Kennedy: “He’s the only democrat not running for president.”
pmoshields on February 8, 2007 at 6:19 PM
Wouldn’t want to call a Marine a “Devil Dog” now would we?
blogRot on February 8, 2007 at 6:20 PM
All munitions should be treated this way. I say grease them up at the factory.
Guardian on February 8, 2007 at 6:21 PM
If a Jihadi is motivated by martyrdom and virgins, lard sounds like a great deterrent. Don’t choose terrorism if you don’t want the greasy bullet. I think a national lard drive is in order. Will Rosie donate?
infidel on February 8, 2007 at 6:22 PM
So you were okay with John Kerry comments to congress in the early 70’s?

Bradky on February 8, 2007 at 6:23 PM
“Israeli police have come up with plans to place bags of pig lard”
Hmmmm … aerial spraying of liquified pig lard over Taliban strongholds in Afghanistan …
darwin on February 8, 2007 at 6:23 PM
He oughta try usin’ scrapple, it’s made with the stuff that isn’t good enough to put in Spam and hot dogs which means the dead jihadi goes to the deepest levels of hell … oh and scrapple is soooooo good!
Tony737 on February 8, 2007 at 6:29 PM
It would be immediately classified by the UN as a WMD and they’d have the lot of us up on charges for war crimes.
Laura on February 8, 2007 at 6:32 PM
Both are attributed “unproven rumors behavior to American military personnel.”
(Based on your obvious lack of knowledge, yet presumed expertise, it would require you to look it up. That’s OK – I’ll wait until you educate yourself.)
blogRot on February 8, 2007 at 6:33 PM
I think you’re referring to the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. It was their own soldiers who objected to the grease because they had to open the cartridges with their teeth.
Iblis on February 8, 2007 at 6:33 PM
From what I recall reading the reduced number of attacks has been largely due to the wall they have been building. Feel free to authenticate the story you related.
Bradky on February 8, 2007 at 6:34 PM
(snort)
I wonder how many Marine’s lives were saved after Belleau Wood when the Germans told everyone they were fighting Teufel Hunden. An enemy scared to fight is an enemy already beaten.
But it’s a new world now. You can drop a 500 pound JDAM on their houses … but a spam-coated bullet? Now you’re crossing the line.
Professor Blather on February 8, 2007 at 6:35 PM
Look guys, gals………As a non-commission officer I would expect my son to RIF this nutjob because it is the right thing to do. We don’t need this kind of crap. They are professionals. This is the kind of nutjob that ends up on the front page of the NYT and AlJaazera. I’m a right-wing warmongering SOB….but ‘professional’ is more then a moniker. This is a BS vid. Period. If a real soldier he brings dishonor on the US and the Army. The professional knows that the round is good enough. No need to ‘grease-it-up’.
Limerick on February 8, 2007 at 6:36 PM
This could cause psychological damage to the poor jihadis. It would easily be called a war crime. Maybe instead we should get some of the illegal immigrants infected with the pork tapeworm parasitic infection here in Cali to prepare food for the enemies.
Neurocysticercosis to the enemy!
NTWR on February 8, 2007 at 6:37 PM
I laughed out loud at this … and then stopped laughing, when I realized it’s pretty much the truth.
We’d never be allowed to do it, even if it saved lives (including enemy lives). They’d call it a hate crime of war. Maybe a war crime of hate. But you’d definitely see “hate” and “crime” and “war” somewhere.
Good thing we can still just kill the buggers.
Professor Blather on February 8, 2007 at 6:38 PM
I’m a Cav Scout, and after seeing the vid twice I can’t say based on looking at a forearm and listening to a voice whether the guy’s real or not. Could be a former trooper, or a wannabe, or maybe – maybe – even the real thing.
It he is a genuine Cav Scout, all I can say is:
(1) What he’s doing can’t possibly be sanctioned by his superiors; and
(2) If I were him, I wouldn’t be dipping my rounds in anything that’d leave a greasy or oily residue on them, or in my magazines, or the chamber/bore/barrel of my rifle.
Just sayin’.
Spurius Ligustinus on February 8, 2007 at 6:42 PM
There is no comparison and I don’t see how you draw that conclusion. Kerry perpetuated rumors of baby killers and the Pershing rumor portrays us as less than professional.
According to http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/usmchist/lore63.txt
“In the Belleau Wood fighting in 1918, the Germans received a thorough indoctrination in the fighting ability of Marines which they could have used to forewarn their axis partner, Japan, in 1941. Fighting through supposedly impenetrable woods and capturing supposedly untakeable terrain, the men of the 4th Marine Brigade struck terror in the hearts of the Germans. The persistent attacks delivered with unbelievable courage soon had the Germans referring to Marines as the “Teufelhunden” meaning “fierce fighting dogs of legendary
origin” or as popularly translated “Devil Dogs.”
Bradky on February 8, 2007 at 6:42 PM
The Blackjack Pershing story is likely an urban legend. No Pershing biography can find any evidence for it. Furthermore, most Muslim religious scholars seem to agree that being shot with a bacon-fat-laden bullet is not going to send a jihadist to hell.
tommy1 on February 8, 2007 at 6:44 PM
Let me just say as a retired soldier, I wouldn’t spend the time to dip each stinkin’ round in a vat of anything. You get your rounds – you shove ‘em in the magazine with a speed loader and you move out. You have enough other things to do and worry about then dipping your rounds in a can of spam. If I had been his boss I’d have yelled out, “Hey muldoon! What the frigg are you doin? Stop wasting your time with that and get your magazines loaded.” And everybody else would have looked at him and thought, “What an idiot. I guess he’s our Rambo-wannabe.”
armyvet on February 8, 2007 at 6:45 PM
Thanks for your description. Couldn’t have put it better.
Bradky on February 8, 2007 at 6:45 PM
The southern portions of Georgia, along with most other Gulf Coast states, is crawling with feral hogs. They reproduce like rabbits. They become sexually mature at 6 months and produce 3-4 litters per year. (They’re also delicious, but that’s beside the point.) A few hundred of these critters, strategically transplanted, would render the target area unfit for Muslim habitation in a few years. Just a thought.

91Veteran on February 8, 2007 at 6:50 PM
Years ago, and I am talking about 15 to 20 years ago, there was a general that advocated all muslim terrorists (yes, they were around then) to be buried with a ham, and make it known that they are buried that way. Everyone thought he was crazy, he was never heard from again.
Oh, but to turn back the hands of time.
right2bright on February 8, 2007 at 6:51 PM
Ah, the best answer of all. Funny I didn’t think about it, even though I mentioned his reference to CLP.
You’re right. Looking back on my time in the USMC and all that frickin’ rifle cleaning, I really wonder if I would have even considered putting something greasy anywhere near the chamber.
I might have covered myself head to toe in pig lard … but putting spam near that rifle that I was then going to have to clean (again)(and again)(and again)?
Probably not. Good point.
You should have ended your post with: “It’s elementary, my dear Watson …”
Professor Blather on February 8, 2007 at 6:54 PM
That seems like a waste. Wouldn’t fatback work just as well?

Here’s another one for Bradky to add to his litany of outrages
If a Muslim isn’t a terrorist sympathizer, he should applaud these methods.

Troopers….how do you finish your conversations with officers, NCO’s? Each and every cav outfit. How do you acknowledge your instructions or ‘drive home’ your point?
1st, 2nd, 3rd Cav? While each has their own way if it is ‘carry-on’ you ain’t no TROOPER.
The guy is a POSER. If somehow he isn’t he will soon be a civilian.

Strange, that doesn’t authenticate the story about Israel you mentioned.

Will the BBC do?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3484277.stm
You’re right – it’s the BBC. How about an Australian newspaper. Probably a little more reliable:

Is this really what they believe, though? I’m no Koran scholar, but I suspect that this is just a myth.

I used to say “Hooah?” or “Roger?” but it’s a tough call. I don’t know if I would slap the POSER label on this guy. However, I did enjoy the video.
x95b10 on February 8, 2007 at 7:42 PM
I don’t know what you mean by “authenticate”. I wrote that I had no idea if this idea has actually been implemented.
There were many stories about this idea a few years ago. You can google — pig lard israel buses — and find all sorts of references to this idea. Here is one from BBC News:
Does that “authenticate” it for you?

I dunno if genuine or not. But I agree with you others on the ring:
If I was that guy’s squad leader, Platoon Sergeant, First Sergeant or CO, he dang sure wouldn’t be wearing that built in finger amputator while on duty… Or even off duty, but in uniform. REMFs might get away with something like that, but not a line troopie.
LegendHasIt on February 8, 2007 at 7:48 PM
Guess I am just being protective….but if you have ever been in the Cav….99% of everything is signed off in one of two ways(depending on the regiment).
I just need another beer I guess. If it isn’t “hooh-ah” or
“ei-e-ah” he damn sure isn’t from the 1st or 3rd.
I’m damn proud of those boys. Been a tough ride for both of those outfits. I’ll shut up now……an hope they track down whoever this numbskull is.
Limerick on February 8, 2007 at 7:50 PM
I love the idea except I’d be worried about any foreign material jamming my weapon. I know, it’s not like the pig substance was on so thick that it was dripping off the bullets but it’s just the idea that a M-16 is supposedly a finicky weapon anyways that I really wouldn’t want to take the chance.
Yakko77 on February 8, 2007 at 7:52 PM
according to a military source of mine, this is legit
Karl on February 8, 2007 at 8:05 PM
You are crackheadedly asking me to “authenticate” something that appears to me hasn’t happened.
What you need to do is authenticate that the talk of pigs lard on Israeli buses has led to more suicide bombings on Israeli buses. Impress me.

MattSkosh on February 8, 2007 at 8:48 PM
I can only make this one comment with any certainty:
It is difficult, not to mention illegal, to bring any pork product (or alcohol) into any muslim country to which we deploy.
The customs officials who inspect our baggage and our mail are local nationals, meaning that we don’t have a ‘look the other way’ situation. I’m not saying it can’t be done, because I have seen it happen (I won’t say how), but it’s unlikely anyone would waste the opportunity to bring Spam instead of something a little bit more -holic.
James on February 8, 2007 at 8:50 PM
Would dipping a bullet in beef broth and shooting Catholics on Friday make a difference to the Catholic?
Maybe this pork issue holds the same feelings for the Muslim?
csdeven on February 8, 2007 at 9:02 PM
His accent seems to waver between Brooklyn and Australian.
As far as the whole ‘pork wins war against terrorists’, come on. Whilst I wouldn’t be suprised if there’s something in the Koran that can be used as a loophole for this, The higher-ups will nevertheless be able to turn this around to make it seem ‘glorious’ to risk doing such things
Reaps on February 8, 2007 at 9:27 PM

Mark Jaquith on February 9, 2007 at 12:23 AM
‘Bout time! We need to use propaganda to strike fear into the hearts of the enemy, and for some reason, we don’t do that anymore. It should be common knowledge that all bullets made in America carry 5% pig blood.
Kevin M on February 9, 2007 at 12:45 AM
I’m amused that anyone would object to denying Islamofascists their 72 virgins. Obviously couldn’t make them hate us any more and since no soldier has been captured and returned exactly what negative effect would it have there? The fact that the UN objects only reinforces my thoughts on its effectiveness. Once you understand that these terrorists fight so willingly is based in a large part on their belief that if killed they are martyrs and will be famous and actually get laid in heaven the propaganda of such a tactic becomes obvious.
Buzzy on February 9, 2007 at 1:08 AM
I don’t believe the video for the reasons that the rest of you have noted: our military is too professional to tolerate it, it is unnecessary; the possiblility of fouling the weapon during combat becomes greater when a foreign substance, like grease, is introduced into the chamber. When I reload rifle, I always wipe down the case lube before putting the reloads in the box.
“I think you’re referring to the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857.”
You are.
We would have a mutiny of our own on our hands like the British did in India. “Our” Iraqis would balk at using “unclean” ammunition.
This behavior would, therefore, be counterproductive.
georgej on February 9, 2007 at 1:42 AM
Sorry, georgej on February 9, 2007 at 1:42 AM, I have to disagree, with respect.
Two different worlds, two different motivations, two different media influences, two different times, two different possible outcomes, two different religions….
A point…… one, a struggle for independence, the other, propoganda. Remember those Danish cartoons were published months before the “outrage”?
They were selectively picked, people traveled and held rallys, and mocked them up to instill “outrage”, then were systematically placed in Muslim nations, to be broadcast at the same time, with forethought.
In coordination, the Muslim powers at be, using the Media like the masters they are, knowing full well, the left media of Europe and the West would eat it like their own, staged protests, rallys, and even riots, resulting in the deaths of fellow human beings.
Do you know what you call that……….. PROPOGANDA…. and it continues today with every CNN broadcast.
So, an anonymous soldier, using the “Black Jack” Perging as a source of inspiration, dips a bullet into “Pig Spam” {I love it}, and the left and Muslims go wild……. seems like we hit a nerve boys and girls.
How about filling a squadren of B-52’s with tons of pig entrails and start dropping it on enemy positions?
If it is only a rumor and a myth, then all we have to say it was “crop dusting”. If not, and they ran like fleas into the nearest hell holes, we tracked them, killed them, and the war was over, sooner than later, then…….
I say again, to every myth, thier is a ring of truth… and why not honor Gen. “Black Jack”?
“Spam Bullets” …. I love it.
PinkyBigglesworth on February 9, 2007 at 2:38 AM
Unless they were apathetic to a bullet being shot into/thru them, yes :-)

You know, I totally missed my own point, how only about a “rumor” of the bombers…… named “Black Jack” Squadren, enroute,……… cover your heads, and time it with a rain storm? Watch them run……
What say you, leftist media, can we win with our minds, or do we have to kill them with our bullets?
What would you prefer??? Oh, that’s right, were not supposed to win as long as President Bush is in office….
PinkyBigglesworth on February 9, 2007 at 3:18 AM
It seems we started to cover this ground here. Glad we’re back on the topic!
Mark, Bradky, Limerick and the others: Let’s keep in mind the “pork round” doesn’t have to be a standard-issue munition, it can be a sniper round reserved for terrorists, for those who twist a peaceful religion beyond recognition (as Muslim spokespeople assure us almost daily) and shamefully commit blasphemies in its hallowed name.
Since their terrorism is clearly apostasy, they’re not really heading to Paradise anyway, nor does the Muslim community think so either (as we are constantly reassured), so the lard lube is really more of a precautionry measure against delusions of grandeur than a real tool of shahidus interruptus: the poor fool isn’t getting to Paradise anyway, you see, so lubing it in pork has no real effect on their soul – we’re just taking advantage of their gullibility ahead of time, before they’ve had a chance to waste their life (and ours).
Indeed, the Wild Bore should never be used on true, peace-loving Muslims of any description – for exactly the reasons we’ve all cited: cooties! (Wouldn’t want anyone to get trichanosis while bleeding to death…)
Far from being a divider, it ought to unite us with our fellow blasphemy-hating Muslims, who ought to have as little reservation using pork bullets against fake Muslims as they would against Buddhists or Jews. A win-win all the way around – how could it possibly go wrong?

I should say, no Marine I know personally was doing this, of course. My Marine was not shooting anything as small as an M-16 over there.heh.
And as for whiny Bradky, save it. Just SAVE IT. Crawl back in Mother Sheehan’s lap and just shut your piehole!
Every Marine on the ground should fight this war with a suckling piglet strapped to thier SV-2’s so if the b@stards blow them up, the Jihadis would get sprayed with swine guts. This is a WAR, **Bradky**, where if accomplished properly, Marines—-REAL MEN—kill people, brake things and DON’T ASK FOR YOUR LIMP WRISTED PERMISSION, YOU W*SS.
If our guys need a morale boost from doing this, I might give a sewer rat’s @$$ when those scum put on a uniform and behave in accordance with the Geneva Convention. Until then…
LET THEM EAT PORK!

Sorry , PMS rage leads to typing while not thinking.
THAT WOULD BE —”BREAK THINGS”
….and you still need to shut up, *Bradky*.

I will not definitively say whether this guy is a legitimate soldier or not, but he certainly is a moron. Yeah, that’s a great idea, putting greasy, sticky crap all over your rounds. I’m sure you dont have to worry about sand or dust getting all over everything you own in a desert or anything. And yes, the terrorists will be real scared when your M4 locks up in the middle of a firefight.

AP, for what it’s worth, I don’t think that’s a gold ring on his pinky. It almost looks like a bandage to me. But Bohica22 nails it: doesn’t gelatin and animal fat kind of invite sand to f*** up your magazine?

Sorry, button keeps sticking from overuse. Also, couldn’t this be construed as doctoring or modifing ammunition. Congratualtions, Cav Scout, you just videotaped yourself committing a war crime. What no butt pyrmiads?
BohicaTwentyTwo on February 9, 2007 at 9:24 AM
OK guys, I’m gonna type this R-E-A-L—S-L-O-W,
It matters not at ALL if this is bogus or not, if those scum even HEAR about the possibility that our guys could or would do this, their kooky ideas about HAM will go a LONG way to demoralize THEM for a change.

Bohica—-you know nothing about war crimes. LOL…
Yous is the singular most WISHFULLY IGNORANT thing I have seen on this thread.You can join old **Bradky** in his heapin’ helping of shutup.

Just for what it’s worth. Anyone who’s played in the sandbox should have enough sense to avoid a) Spam and B) CLP. Carbon graphite is the lubricate of choice. Like Napalm sticks to
kidsthings, sand sticks to Spam and CLP.MSG(RET), USA

FM 27-10 The Law of Land Warfare
Chapter 2 Section III
It is especially forbidden * * * to employ arms, projectiles, or material calculated to cause unnecessary suffering. (HR, art. 23, par. (e).)
b. Interpretation. What weapons cause “unnecessary injury” can only be determined in light of the practice of States in refraining from the use of a given weapon because it is believed to have that effect. The prohibition certainly does not extend to the use of explosives contained in artillery projectiles, mines, rockets, or hand grenades. Usage has, however, established the illegality of the use of lances with barbed heads, irregular-shaped bullets, and projectiles filled with glass, the use of any substance on bullets that would tend unnecessarily to inflame a wound inflicted by them, and the scoring of the surface or the filing off of the ends of the hard cases of bullets.

Somewhere in Italy, there’s a communist documentary filmmaker thanking
JesusMarx for stupid Americans. SPIFF1669 is spot on with the CLP/graphite comment.BohicaTwentyTwo on February 9, 2007 at 10:48 AM
A little lax in the Catholic dotrine understanding are we?

Is there a difference between actually doing this, and attempting to make the enemy believe you are? Of course, so the question is, is this sort of action counter-productive to actually defeating the enemy or does it just potentially get you more enemies who will fight you now, when they wouldn’t before?
I ask because, IMO, there is a differnce between winning the hearts and minds of a populace when the enemy has already been defeated, and attempting to win the hearts and minds when the enemy hasn’t stopped fighting yet.
