Is it BS?  Just wondering.

I saw a documentary on this very thing.  In Vietnam, the 
Navy Seals were doing covert operations, and they were
instructed to kill civilians that may have discovered them.
And they did.

They interviewed several seals who were on this mission on
this very thing.  All were disturbed by the order, and the
fact that they had to carry it out.

I doubt this documentary was BS, because one of the
people on the mission was a US Senator.  Unless the producers
want to get sued for defamation or something, I would think
the contents to be true.  (I'm vaguely remember that the
missions were even talked about in a book, by the same
senator... don't remember the senator's name, I'm your
typical uneducated American :)


As far as war is concerned, my uneducated opinion is that we
should get more creative.

One of the highest contributors to garbage by volume is used
diapers.  Instead of smart bombs which kill, why not try used diaper
bombs for demoralization? Who is willing to do anything but
bath when a used diaper falls on your head?  We'd be solving
two problems at the same time.  Think about it.

What about a bong bomb?  Dude, that be cool.
