To: 1COUNTER-MORTER-68
Right after WWII, my father-in-law was stationed at Fort Bliss and was ordered to accompany a young Army lieutenant to the border at Juarez to assist with a border riot that had broken out. A Mexican army major, with the approval of the lieutenant requested my father-in-law fire his truck-mounted .50 caliber "Ma Deuce" about six feet over the crowd just at dark. With the tracers flying overhead, my father-in-law said it was "nothing but asses and elbows" as the crowd fled.

One riot requires one Fifty. The bigger the trouble, the more Fifties you bring in.
