Can't you just hear loud speakers, directed at Afgan caves, blasting pig squealing sounds?

... or a Britney Spears CD?

You left out the oldest special forces. U.S.M.C. Which will be 226 years old November 10. Force Recon & Snipers! Semper Fi, Mike

In a real war, this article would be yanked.

True, it is "all over the TV."

But it may not be the TV which a certain bad guy with inspiriation - tuned - up ... is looking at. Rather, he may be here; and reviewing this information just gave him a bright idea.

In wartime, every little tiny, teeny piece counts.

The door you and I close, may be THE door, one day, which thwarts some bad guys and prevents them from harming our fellow troopers.

There is nothing in this article other than publicly available background information. Chill out.

"That oughta scare the living Allah out of them..."

Brilliant, East Bay, brilliant! LOL

I dunno, hunkered down in my cave and hearing Kathy Lee singing would have me pretty twitchy after a couple of hours. I don't think even cotton can stop that catterwallin'.

[blackdog]

There is another British force who's name I cannot recall. They originated as a loyal India group while Britain controlled India. These little buggers scare the hell out of the military world. They are still in existance in good numbers and based out of Britain. Does anyone know the name of this group?

[facedown]

Gurkhas (sp?)

[spectr17]

Catterwalling = caterwauling. Momentary lapse in spelling.

[spectr17]

Soccer fans?

[Fury]

Are you referring to the Ghurkas?

[Eagle Eye]

The problem the bad guys have isn't obtaining material, it is sorting through the material. Volumes and volumes, and ream upon ream of freely obtainable material about our military and defense capabilties.

If the bad guys are too stupid to get a Jane's book, then they are too stupid to read this thread for info.

No, their problem is going to be sorting through the stuff for important info.

Well....yadda...yadda...yadda...I will tell you what these great heros will do. They will squeal to their families when they are captured. Their families will go on CNN. They will tear our hearts out about how horribly they are being treated and ..please...please...can't we do something for them. Have all the faith you want in them. I don't.

Don't forget Barry Manilow which we hammered Noriega with.

Obviously Larry you've never been around the SF community. Whine is not a word in their vocabulary.
