European 'techno' on a loop (it sounds like it's on a terribly short loop anyway) would kill anyone but a European socialist and can drive snakes back into Ireland and turn a genius into a babbling fool like Jocelyn Elders. Ever heard that stuff?

It makes rap sound angelic.

Barber shop quartets are almost as bad but they don't get down to the subconscious level and make you wish your skull would just get it over with and explode. Techno does just that and in a relatively short time.

Given the arab ability to just at the thought of a djin, Kiowa veteran's songs might be exotic enough to spook the crap out of them, though personally I'm fond of them. But then, I like bagpipes and digeridoos.

OK, that's weird. We both must have poker playing on our minds tonight!

I hope you had as much fun at your poker game as I did with the two cheerleaders and the Danish stewardess.

I cheated terribly. But it was worth it!

If you really want to get an Arab mad accuse him of wiping his butt with his right hand or eating with his left.

Better yet, shake his hand with your right hand and then casually mention that you're ambidextrous. Works even better if you're working in the food service and you wait until after he eats. (Now THAT made college fun.)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Today is a good day for all of the muslumists to die!

[Thanx for the pic, hookman]

Of course, we could always blast them with Dan Fogelberg until they turn in to pu$$ies and then really kick their butts.

Wait, that actually happened to me in the 70s.

More fun: when one asks for his free bag of chips with his extra-large soda, so naturally you hand over a bag of pork rinds to him.

By the way, that was the worst video since the Japanese guys in there briefs with the leaves on their crotch.

The Feds were reputed to have tried something like this at Waco, but the Branch Davidians' Christian Rock Band had a better sound system and blasted Jesus music back, louder.

[Smokin' Joe]

And, I hope they blast them with a few thousand repeats of Barney's famous song, "I love you, you love me".

Careful, that could be considered a war crime.

[Smokin' Joe]

How about "louie, louie"? We had a local radio station play it for about 24 hours in a 'marathon'. Applications went way up at the Post Office.....

[socal_parrot]

Found it!

This video will make anybody surrender.

Anyone have renditons of Christian music in Arabic?

Say, starting with, Onward, Christian Soldiers???

[socal_parrot]

Sorry, here...

Yatta!

You forgot New Zealand Maori Haka war chants....

Also real useful when the NZ *All Blacks* Rugby team wants to psyche out their opponents.

Patton believed in a very fast and and aggressive offensive. He didn't like defending a fixed position and spoke out about it a lot. He wouldn't have agreed with this ceasefire. He would have taken the town within a day or two because that's how he fought.

Agreed. But Patton fought in a day when America fully recognized that the job needed to be done, regardless of the cost. The media didn't necessarily like Patton, but they were behind the overall mission.

Not like today when we have become as casualty concious (if not more so) than we were during Vietnam, with hostile, partisan media.

But the media and the media imposed squeamishness about casualties were a large factor in reducing the effectiveness of the gains made by troops in 'Nam. All we can do is hope the folks in the Pentagon have the guts to do what is necessary to win, because we have no other option.

Don't think for an instant that I am callous toward our troops, who I consider the bravest of the brave and hold in high regard. Some will come home in a box, unfortunately, in getting the job done. IMHO, the only thing worse would be for these brave souls to get killed and the job not get done.

Let 'em wear themselves out. Napalm.

Not the Japanese Self-Defense Force Navy, it won't!

[REAL Japanese Navy recruiting commercial...what WERE they thinking...?]

[archy]

Let 'em wear themselves out. Napalm.

Obsolete. That's Frantan now. Like the earlier gasoline-based incendiary, easy enough to support in the field back when gasoline had to be supplied for vehicle and aircraft engines, but now more difficult to maintain in the field since JP-8 kerosene has replaced mogas as the usual mil-spec fuel.

No problem, frantan includes magnesium and aluminum powder in its composition, as well as liquified gelled styrofoam.

LOL! You've gotta love our soldiers! God Bless and protect them all. ;-)

OK, I'm dated. SOunds even hotter with the flammable metals. Thanks for the update!
