Jihad 'Warriors'

“A lot of senior enemy fighters may have left, leaving behind their dumb footsoldiers all jazzed up on jihad. There’s clearly a lack of good faith by the fighters in town.”

The Marines have little regard for their foes’ mettle or fighting ability. “When we capture them, they cry like babies. Then they p*** themselves,” Lieutenant Michael Liguorni said. “We find these little drug bottles around; we think half of these guys are drugged up,” he said, as the eerie hiss and bang of rocket-propelled grenades broke the silence, followed by the rattle of rifle fire and the zing of ricochets.

    When I was in Belgrade in '99, that's what Serbian propaganda
    was saying about Americans - "They are all on drugs."

    Funny how same propaganda repertoire is used around the world,
    regardless of political system and culture.

    Like it's bad to be high, or something ... ;)

      Supposedly the Nazis put methamphetamins in their soldiers food to keep em charged up.
      • Amigo, don't US troops get high?

        • Indeed US troops do get high, on a new methamphetamine substitute that has been relegated strictly to the military.

          Mostly it's the Air Force pilots who get it. Supposedly it keeps you awake for three or four days and doesn't have as bad a crash as speed, but since I've never taken it or known anyone who has I am getting this strictly from newspaper articles which might be bullshitting. I don't think it would be possible to be up for 72 hours without crashing.

          I am baffled by society's weird double-standards as to the use of drugs: it's okay to drink alcohol, a fairly toxic chemical, but if you use less toxic substances which have been made illegal through propaganda and fearmongering you become thought of as degenerate. And even if drugs were as bad for you as everyone claims it's still not the Most Horrible Thing That Can Happen To You, but it's been so battered into everyone's heads that it is that they've come to believe it. Everyone seems to need a scapegoat.
