Default Re: OT: Poetic Justice for Terrorists

yeah, and while the .45 ACP mentioned below was designed to 'falter a horse in a cavalry charge' everyone in the know realized that was a complete bull**** publicity line. the thing was designed to falter a drug-crazed pacific islander, and it did a rather good job of it.

whats more, there is a pretty good precident for soldiers doing things like this. not only the incident below, but simpler things like coating bullets or hollowpoints in pig fat to be sure and send one to hell. everybody has heard the stories about the North-Vietnamese dipping bullets in faecies to poison the bloodstream of their enemies. i dont know if they were the first ones doing it, but they were probably basing it on someone elses earlier ideas.

The idea is not to torture someone and make them suffer, as appealing as that might seem. the idea is to break down morale and will to fight. thats also the reason for our casualty figures, if anyone here believes that we have not lost any men on the ground due to enemy fire, then you probably also believed our casualty figures coming out of Desert Storm...
