& where exactly is the news in this?
Of course, comments like this wont stop the finger pointing & salacious accusations from the al-Baghdad Broadcasting Corporation. Please correct me if I am wrong here but if my memory serves me correctly, your humble correspondent recalls whistling up a spot of artillery fire – sometimes using high explosive & oh, sometimes using white phosphorus. Nicknamed in the forces, Willie Peter, it is generally felt by those that have used it to be jolly good stuff – which is why those that have used it know that “Willie Peter makes you a believer” - thus perfect for using on true believers.
& the problem with that is exactly what?
(Footnote - White Phos grenades are even more fun)
Comments
White Phos is a bitch - I'm frightened shitless of it, but if it is to be used (and I strongly advocate its use on THEM (the enemy)), let someone else do the distribution. And I speak as a corporal in the Ex-SA Army.
