I wonder if this is true or urban legend...

There have been numerous posts on FR that advocated this type of activity. (grease ammunition in pig fat, bury terrorists in pig poop, wrap terrorists head in bacon before they are buried)

The Koran also states that one will enter Paradise in the same physical form that one leaves this earth.

Hence, one should shoot them in the knees, cut off their ears, cut off their nose, remove their tounge, pluck out their eyeballs, castrate them - and THEN shoot them in the head with a pig lubricated bullet.

Well, that General should be court martialed asap! My goodness, what a mean person he is. What about other peoples feelings, culture and self esteem!???

I dunno, but Vyndel Jones has devoted his life to archaeology.

Gen. J.J. Pershing lived when Americans still had IRON in their souls. Let there yet be enough for the current contretempts.

[oyez]

That's not politcaly correct. Somebody's feelings a bound to be hurt.

If only...

How unfair! How insensitive! He should have held hands with them, and joined them in a candlelight vigil. /sarcasm

I bet as those barrels would get heated up and that pork fat gets sizzling you get a real breakfasty smell going there. Reminds me of the movie "Apocalypse Now".

The smell of victory is no longer "napalm in the morning."

The new smell of victory is bacon in the morning! LOL

G. Gordon Liddy, years ago, proposed a way to end the Iran-Iraq War...: (Remember that one: years before the Iraq-Coalition War?):

Citing a Koran passage which says that a man may not enter the Kingdom of Heaven if his head is in the beklly of a pig, Liddy delictately suggfested, as only Gordon can:

That one side (here Iraq, or bettttter, now the Unitedcd States), first, (paraphrasing here):1)

"Cut off the heads of a few hundred Muslim terrorist combatants";

Then,(2) "Sew the heads inside of pigs bellies."

Thjird, (3) "Send the heads back to relatives sewn inside the pigs's bellies."

These simple, but oh so refined and eleghant,

---- yet incredibly inexpensive steps should promptly end a War with Muslim fanatics & terorists, since the mnotivation of elevation to the Kingdom of eaven would be utterly destroyed.

NOTE:

Osama bin Laden himself,

in today's internationally-broadcast address to "All Muslims",

referred pointedly to "the Kingdom of Heaven" and

prayed for speedy entry of his terrorist-fanatic-combatants thereto.

Pershing was no-nonsense ballbuster. I don't know about this specific story, but during the Indian Wars, he learned firsthand about fighting the American Indians as they fought.

It would not surprise me if it was indeed true.

[Mulder]

Why doesn't the Army form an airborne division of pigs?

Call it the "Porky Pig Airborne Division". Give them uniforms, and drop them over these caves where Bin Laden and his butt buddies are hanging out.

[parsifal]

I read a book, "Pipe, Clay, and Drill". I have it packed away somewhere. As I recall, he threatened to bury them with pigs. But it has been many years since I read it. parsy.

[Cicero]

How about we hire that German performance artist who blew up a cow that was dropped from an airplane? Only this time we make it a pig, and do it over Afghanistan.

As I recall, Freepers hired some light planes to do flybys a few years ago towing banners that labeled clinton a rapist. Where there's a will, there's a way.

It has the scent of urban legend about it, although Pershing did serve in the Philippines about 1897-1901 and gained fame in putting down some of the frequent killing sprees of the militant Moro Muslims.

Another Internet site proposes that the impurification-by-hog tactics were pioneered later, after Pershing had left the Philippines. An excerpt:

It was Colonel Alexander Rodgers of the 6th Cavalry who accomplished by taking advantage of religious prejudice what the bayonets and Krags had been unable to accomplish. Rodgers inaugurated a system of burying all dead juramentados in a common grave with the carcasses of slaughtered pigs. The Mohammedan religion forbids contact with pork; and this relatively simple device resulted in the withdrawal of juramentados to sections not containing a Rodgers. Other officers took up the principle, adding new refinements to make it additionally unattractive to the Moros. In some sections the Moro juramentado was beheaded after death and the head sewn inside the carcass of a pig. And so the rite of running juramentado, at least semi-religious in character, ceased to be in Sulu. The last cases of this religious mania occurred in the early decades of the century. The juramentados were replaced by the amucks. .. who were simply homicidal maniacs with no religious significance attaching to their acts.

I knew there was something about Pershing I liked.

Mrs. Presbyrev developed a new recipe this week, chicken wrapped in bacon, "Taliban Chicken".
