@ daedalus1982Hey f**k face, here are some links from a year ago. Time is not the news leader, in case you had not noticed.<a class="user" href="http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/11/military_uses_f.html">http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/11/military_uses_f.html</a><a class="user" href="http://techbreakfast.org/p/silly_string_in_iraq">http://techbreakfast.org/p/silly_string_in_iraq</a><a class="user" href="http://www.tradetricks.org/archives/001495.html">http://www.tradetricks.org/archives/001495.html</a><a class="user" href="http://www.blackfive.net/main/2005/11/should_we_issue.html">http://www.blackfive.net/main/2005/11/should_we_issue.html</a>So, daedalus1982, instead of assuming YOU know everything and others know nothing, perhaps you should actually take something at face value. Even better, do some basic research before making judgements. Asswipe.So Ladies and Gentlemen, without further adue, I present to you the self-centric, self-aggrandized f**ktard known to the world as daedalus1982.

Daedalous1982,I think TheOther1 may be right. It was mentioned in May 2004 on strategypage.com, 2 1/2 yrs ago.<a class="user" href="http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htproc/articles/20040517.aspx">http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htproc/articles/20040517.aspx</a>

Actually, when I said "Afro-rigged", I never questioned that people knew the more discriminatory meaning. I mentioned "Afro-rigged" because it's the more humourus term. You obviously didn't take it whith any humor.

Wow. That was the official statement from the Marines? "Force" them to improvise (by not giving them essential survival tools)...way to encourage those new recruits.
