"A drug which makes users feel superhuman is being taken by rebel fanatics before they launch attacks against UK troops in Iraq. The pill - filled with addictive stimulant methamphetamine - is given to insurgents so they have no fear of taking on heavily-armed Coalition forces." ... "Methamphetamine - one of the chemicals in the courage drug - is related to amphetamine but the effects on the central nervous system are greater. Users feel a huge surge of energy and confidence 10 to 15 minutes after they have taken a dose." ... Also: The Girl Next Door

guns kill. it won't matter if there are high or not. if you watch cops you can see that if your taking meth then you can't think straight. they are more likely to shoot each other.

Actually, Cadet, it does matter. Because guns only kill when fired in the right direction. Remove the fear factor and your lack of fear of guns will give you more of an advantage than you had before. And please, please, please, do not use COPS as a good example of anything. That show is so biased. It is so very interesting, however, that the so-called Islamic fundamentalists in the Iraqi insurgency, who allegedly despise anything which came about from the influence of us infidels, would embrace one of our most addictive drugs.

The "so-called Islamic fundamentalists" who feature prominently in the Iraqi insurgency are mostly anything but. Most of them of dumb 16-30 years olds motivated by nationalism and fueled by the fact that Iraq has a ridiculous unemployment rate, something like 30%. I'm not too surprised that a)they'd take meth (though they probably have no idea what it is); and b)that they'd participate in the insurgency. If you were 18 and poor, had pretty much no chance of getting a job, lived in a shithole country and were part of an anachronistic society where (for cultural and religious reasons) it's pretty much impossible to get any pussy before marriage, I guess doing crank and shooting at GIs as a way to pass the time might begin to seem like an okay idea. If anything, I think this is a great example of globalization. Now dead Iraqis and Midwestern trash are using meth.

30% unemployment, that makes sense. See, Bush isn't killing innocent Iraqis, he's just helping them with their unemployment problem. Give him another year or so, I'm sure he'll get that unemployment down under 5%. I know, it's considered standard to actually create jobs instead of getting rid of the excess labor, but hey, Bush is a new kind of president and does things in his own unique way.

The US military tried to do this in the 1940s with LSD. The US military had the idea that maybe if we tainted a water supply it would be easier to take over its people. Untill their experiments on their own military proved it made everyone way to silly. Oh that would be funny. Why give your military METH? A few days of that stuff and these soldiers will be so paranoid and hallucinating they'd pose a threat to anyone, even their own side. I guess it is a risk that any military is willing to take.

Classic example of gorilla warfare. It doesn't matter that some of your troops are a bit wanged out after two straight weeks awake on amps. You just keep them separate, put them to wait in a place where surprise can do more damage than overall firepower and wait till capps-a-poppin' time. Paranoia isn't a problem if the guy can just stay put till the enemy gets there. Hell, its not like these people have trouble sending troops on suicide missions. Even if he wanders off, who cares.

The Nazis only gave the stuff to their night fighter pilots to keep them alert at night, just like we did with those USAF F-16 pilots who erroneously bombed the Canadians in Afghanistan. They didn't give it to infantry; patriotism in the Wehrmacht and ideology in the Waffen SS were more than sufficient to keep the men brave. I don't think the kamikaze pilots were given any amphetamines. They didn't need to make those guys feel invulnerable; the knew they were going to die, but the Japanese fighting men during WW-2 just didn't mind dying. Japan, for instance was chronically short of anti-tank weapons. Their solution was to dig foxholes and place a man with a 100-kg aircraft bomb and a ball-peen hammer in the bottom of each foxhole. When one of our tanks came close enough, the fellow merely hit the nose fuze of the bomb with his hammer. The Japanese word for foxhole also didn't translate as "foxhole." A fox can leave its hole. The Japanese word translates as "octopus trap". An octopus doesn't come out of a trap. The Japanese army also used to routinely seal the entrances to their own bumkers by welding the doors shut or pouring fresh concrete in the doorway when they were expecting a major attack, making the bunker harder to knock out (basically, we HAD to use flamethrowers - nothing else would work.) The guys in the bunker weren't getting out, either. Generals like to talk about their men fighting to the last man and the last cartridge, but only one army in recent history ever did it as a matter of routine.

Liquering the British up before going "over the top" was done during World War One. The men each got a large issue of straight rum. It was about the only way these attacks could work. At the Battle of the Somme in 1916, the British soldier carried 66 pounds of equipment, and was expected to move with this burden while protected by nothing more substantial than a khaki shirt, trousers and low-cut leather boots across a No Man's Land of water-filled shell craters, barbed wire and liquid mud in the face of German hand grenades, fire from rifles, belt-fed water-cooled machineguns, trench mortars up to ten-inch caliber firing high-explosive, mustard gas and phosgene shells, field artillery from 77mm to 150mm caliber firing high explosive and shrapnel shells, and 210mm heavy howitzers firing high explosive, shrapnel and gas shells. Britain had sixty thousand men killed or wounded on the first day of the offensive, out of a British population of 55 million. It's an inconceivable number today, when out of a population of 280 million Americans, people are freaking out over 2000 Americans killed in 30 months of fighting in Iraq. Entire villages and towns in Scotland and Wales lost literally all of their men between the ages of 18 and 40 during that battle, which continued for some six months. Nobody could do that sort of thing sober. It would be hard enough the first day, but the sheer hideousness of it would have left the men in later attacks catatonic or crying their hearts out. In spite of the huge fields of war graves in Belgium and northeast France, less than half the men killed in action during World War One have any grave at all. Their bodies just got stirred into the ground during the next artillery bombardment. I read a short story by David Drake (I think) in which the Crack of Doom opens up in No Man's Land between German and French lines, and Hell comes out to take over the world. The grunts on both sides think it's no big deal, and deal with the problem without calling for artillery support or reinforcements. The story is quite charming, and tragically funny, as the French protagonists manning an 8mm Hotchkiss machinegun ("...air-cooled, so firing it doesn't even heat up some water we can use to make tea...") pull on their gas masks (varnished cloth - the Germans used heavily oiled leather and the British used rubberized canvas) at the first whiff of Hell's brimstone and start hosing down the advancing demons. Ernest Hemingway described World War One the best: "...a war in which you got to die like a dog for nothing in particular." I have one objection in that folks would be outraged if that was done to dogs. When it's young white guys from small towns across Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Barvaria, Pomerania, Silesia, Saxony, and some city boys from Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, England, Prussia, the Ruhr, Munich, Hamburg and Berlin, the idea seemed to be "Use them up. They only cost their mothers nine months of pain and 18 years of work. That's cheap. Use them up." World War One was the last of the old wars and the first of the modern ones, and so was uniquely hideous. Lastly, if you have to die while you're drunk, it's better that you do it thinking you're doing something important for your nation and your friends than it is to do it in a car wreck or choking on your own vomit in a stupid university drinking binge.

By the way, "The Trench" is a good movie about the British Army, alcohol issue, and the Battle of the Somme.

If you want a decent war movie, romanticizing neither side but attacking the obtuse stupidity of the whole exercise, watch "Culloden". This movie was banned in Britain and Australia.

The Chauchat worked better in .30-06 for the septic yanks, but it shook itself to pieces faster. The light machinegun that the US Army discarded in 1918 was the Lewis, which always worked well for the Marines. The Marines kept their Lewis guns. John Browning made sure that his son, Valentine was issued a BAR in 1918. Adolph Topperwein actually shot the BAR in an upsetting demonstration for the US army.

What else is new? They've been taking drugs since the war started. Marines were saying that they would shoot some insurgents and they just wouldn't drop. Picture Tony Montana in Scarface at the end of the movie, when he snorts all that coke and kills all them assasins while getting shot up. The movie of course exagerates it a little. So you figure under normal circumstances the bad guy would drop on the first shot that hits him, but the drugged up bad guys just keep on fighting back until their bodies give up or someone pops their melon. If you look at pictures of dead killed by U.S. marines, you'll notice that a lot of them are head shots for that same reason.

Jane, that Ad Topperwein and John Browning BAR test story is pretty interesting: The man sailed the first (1/4 inch thick) disc upwards with its edge to Topperwein and the crowd, and Topp threw the BAR to his shoulder. This time when the gun fired, the blast was followed by a howling noise as the disc was driven spinning far out over the ocean. The thrower immediately scaled the next one into the air with identical results. In a short time, eighteen of the steel discs had been sent screaming out over the water, hit on the edge by a one-third ounce bullet traveling at over twice the speed of sound. Topp had missed two of the targets. He put the BAR back on the table and went to pick up the two discs he had missed. Ad Topperwein examined them, then turned to the awestruck crowd... Who says you don't learn something every day? I don't, Jane, that's for sure.

Nevertheless, believers of Allah won and routed the crusaders. Now they are giving them meth. I recently read an article al Zahawari saying Americans have done more damage to Iraq than Houglu Khan(pardon my spelling for names). This dude sacked Baghdad, massacring everyone and burnt the city down 'making rivers of red and black'.

What else is new? They've been taking drugs since the war started. Marines were saying that they would shoot some insurgents and they just wouldn't drop. Picture Tony Montana in Scarface at the end of the movie, when he snorts all that coke and kills all them assasins while getting shot up. The movie of course exagerates it a little. So you figure under normal circumstances the bad guy would drop on the first shot that hits him, but the drugged up bad guys just keep on fighting back until their bodies give up or someone pops their melon. If you look at pictures of dead killed by U.S. marines, you'll notice that a lot of them are head shots for that same reason. I've heard the same thing about Vietnam and opium. On the plus side, they said they could smell the opium a mile away, and would be ready for them.

If it is true that they are taking these pills, this could be used to US advantage. Just imagine if we could make our own courage pills with tracking chips in them, I'm sure it is not that hard to get them in there. If an insurgent gets away, we know where they are. Hell, we will know where they are before they attack, perhaps even find large pockets of them.

They might not be dropping because the .223 round ain't enough. Got to hand it to the WW11 and Korea vets, go out and carry a garand or a m-14 for a couple of miles, make a man out of you. Love to see pics of snipers in Mess-o-patania using the .308 to reach out and touch some one

This is pretty old stuff. There were reports of insurgents injecting adrenaline and amphetamines during the battle of fllujah as well.

I normally get drunk before going out to chase girls. It's not really war, but it still is quite tough. The reasons are the same - I'm shy and in reality, I don't really want to do it. I do it because my Fuehrer said so. Well, in the US of "free" A you are lucky, your Fuehrer just asks you to take Prozac and shut up. That shouldn't be too difficult. Oh, those naked girls and those hangovers will kill me someday.

"Muslims do not take drugs." Dude, you're a fucking idiot. They smoke a lot of hashish and they use enough heroin that Hepatitis C is a major problem.

From: azdollarbill [Jim Jones] Date: 2-Dec-2005 09:52 From: janedoe [jane] Date: 2-Dec-2005 02:39 The "so-called Islamic fundamentalists" who feature prominently in the Iraqi insurgency are mostly anything but. Most of them of dumb 16-30 years olds motivated by nationalism and fueled by the fact that Iraq has a ridiculous unemployment rate, something like 30%. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually the unemployment rate is more like 70%. So here we are, Billions of dollars to Halliburton, et al, & Iraq is in worse shape by far, then when Saddam was in charge. George Bush would fuck up a wet dream. I agree with those who feel that the pill story is propaganda. Remember that just the other day, it was all over the net, & cable TV how the US was planting stories in Iraqi news papers, for cash payments. Sound vaguely familiar? BUSH = MURPHY'S LAW... BUSH/OIL/GREED/LIES/DUMBASS........ CHENEY/GREED/HALIBURTON/NAZI/MEGLAMANIC/PUPPETMASTER...... AMERICA/CONNED/BROKE/STUCK IN SHIT IN THE MIDDDLE EAST... BUSH/CHENEY.....FLIES ON SHIT......

I think he got reprimanded. During the Korean War, the propaganda was that the Chinese troops were "hopped up", during their human wave assaults. WHEN I was a kid, i went fishing with my Dad and his buddy from the Korean war...he said he heard the bugle sound and over the mountain came running down hundreds of Chinese troops so high on opium they were shooting up the sky, each other, about everywhere and at anything,,,,he and his fellow troops mowed them down with their machine gun,,,the gun got so hot, the had to take turns pissing on it, lest it warped...good story,,,and he was not bullshitting about any of it,,,,.
