Soldier in Iraq dips his bullets in pork

Recommended Posts

Love it. Removes the martyr motivation.

This is a double edged sword, on one hand it does remove that martyr motivation, but at the same time when we're having so much trouble convincing people that we respect their culture and aren't there to change them this isn't the best way to go about it. Can't argue that it's a great PSYOP tool though.

I think its a great idea.

Pour pork fat on every ounce of munitions the US has. Make it known that if you die from American munitions you are going to hell.

Lets see how many of these people want to face death then.

Watch that man's hand: Dark brown. That giant ring. All is wrong in this video. Don't know which party it created (don't want to know) - it's just needless like a hole in the head.

I noticed that too and was thinking the same thing, why would the bullets be sitting on an ACU boonie cap, kinda looks like it was staged to look like a soldier. And yeah we can wear civilian clothes over there in our off time but still whats the top he's got on, it's not a uniform, if I were to do something like this I would have a uniform on.

Yeah. What better way to foster growing resentment and hatred among Iraqis in his area? Anything we can do to encourage the spirit of Jihad is just fine in my book:S

As if the current process isn't already doing a good job at fostering resentment and hatred among people through the world toward the USA.

(I'll debate this more later, but I have an appointment - out for now)

Brilliant, so who gives a shit if we fuck it up some more. After all, once you go so far what's the point in trying to make things better, that's just too hard.

And what IS being done to make it better? The current activities are going against making it better. There is no end to this war the US is involved with. Perhaps putting the fear of eternal damnation into the other side might work better than sticking with the status quo.

Oh, well there's a long term solution.



You oppose putting pork fat on munitions to put the fear of eternal damnation into the enemy. Are you suggesting that the US does not consider the psychological impact of the weapons it employs? Or maybe this idea is too awful - Better to have Americans killed by people seeking martyrdom than afraid that being killed by an American will send them to hell?

I have absolutely fuck all respect for anyone's religious sensibilities for the sake of PC. My objections here are because it's a completely bloody stupid idea.

The 'psychological effect' of this move (if indeed it is a real american soldier doing it) goes way beyond just the enemy fighters directly exposed to it. It's pissing all over the beliefs of the Iraqis in their own backyard and I think it'll make most of them who hear about it pretty angry.

Nope..... better to have no one killed in this senseless cockup of an excuse for a war.



Can't disagree with that but there is no peaceful solution to this thing.

If the Americans stay the war continues, no end in sight trying beat to anyone with a grudge against the USA that can make their way to Iraq. If the Americans leave the country continues the downward spiral of sectarian violence that erupted when the populace lost their fear of the consequences Saddam would inflict on them.

But rather than hijack this thread into one more pointless discussion about the futility of this war the Americans started, back to the discussion of putting the fear of damnation into the enemy by putting pork fat on US munitions.

Which would be an idiotic, short sighted, limited scope, ultimately counterproductive exercise in unbridled arrogance.
