Most
everybody has heard of "depleted" uranium ammunition that has been used
in the Afghan and Iraq Wars since Desert Storm - and if you haven't, you
can read a serious article about it on
www.VFCLL.com/ab-du.htm
and a related Op Ed piece I wrote on:
www.Net4TruthUSA.com/warcrimes.htm. The object
here, however, is to propose an alternative to the dangerous substance
that is making US soldiers and their families sick, and is permanently
contaminating the landscape for the next million years.
What I am proposing is not so far-fetched, if you think about it;
considering the vast array of disastrous results obtained with all of
the other weapons we've devised since World War 2. Ready for this?
If one really wants to subdue the enemy, one does not necessarily have
to kill him, or inflict "collateral damage" upon the civilian
population. An "enemy" who refuses to fight you, is just as good as a
dead enemy - for military purposes, and there wouldn't be the problem of
"body-count", or worrying about our boys coming home in body-bags - or
worse. In point-of-fact, the solution I propose would solve a multitude
of problems, and open up new avenues for US Corporate profiteering in
areas not even related to the military.
What I propose is the manufacture of
compressed
marijuana bullets
as immediate field replacements for the radioactive ones being used now.
Some of the benefits I can think of (off the top of my head) are listed
below. If you can think of any more, feel free to
write them in our
guestbook.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS
-
Soldiers will
look forward to firing their weapons, as the smoke from the barrels
would smell very nice.
-
Enemy
combatants would initially be knocked down, as if hit by a rubber
bullet, but since the bullet would shatter on impact, and only
bruise the skin, by the time he got to his feet, the THC would be in
his bloodstream, and all he will be able to do is crave a bag of
Doritios™.
-
An even better
idea would be to make all of these bullets tracer rounds. When shot
from a rifle, the trail of smoke and exploding seeds would trace the
path of the bullet, enabling the soldier to see where the shot went,
and when hit by said bullet, it would simply bounce off the enemy
soldier and land on the ground, lit and ready to smoke.
-
As letters
from the soldiers reach home, and their blogs hit the Internet, the
US Army will have more recruits than they know what to do with.
Vietnam and Korean War veterans would show up at the recruiter's
office.
-
US Food Snack
companies would find a vast, untapped market in the Middle East, as
the fighting escalates.
-
US Weapons
manufacturers could covertly (as they've always done) also supply
the "insurgents" with the new ammunition.
-
"Escalation"
would mean adopting this technology for use in larger weapons such
as mini-guns and cluster-bombs.
-
THC mortar
rounds would be (in the common vernacular) "The Shit!!"
-
A 2-megaton
"bunker-buster" would be sufficient to render an entire village
"down" with the munchies.
-
Munitions
factory workers could be paid with the "waste" from the
manufacturing process. Exceptional work could be rewarded with boxes
of assorted snacks, bongs, pot-pipes, Zippo™ lighters, and rolling
papers.
-
Munitions
factory explosions would be pleasant to the entire neighborhood.
-
"Employee of
the Month" at each factory could be rewarded with Monty Python, Marx
Brothers, Abbott and Costello, or Cheech and Chong DVD collections.
-
People would
march on Washington, DC demanding "More War NOW!!"
-
Soldiers
wouldn't come home sick.
-
Soldiers
wouldn't come home in a box.
-
Many soldiers
would volunteer for multiple tours.
-
Re-enlistment
would skyrocket.
-
There would be
no need to "Stop Loss".
-
There would be
no need for any more "False-Flag" Operations.
-
Homeland
Security would come under the Department of Agriculture.
-
"Terrorism?,
What's terrorism?..... pass the roach, man!"
-
War could be
FUN.
-
"PTSD? What's
that, man?"
