US Special Forces Blaring Heavy Metal During Battles With the Taliban, While on Patrol in Countryside...

Number one song on my Taliban playlist: Iron Maiden, "Run To The Hills"...

(Telegraph)- US special forces have a novel weapon in the fight to expel Taliban from a desolate and war-weary farming community in southern Afghanistan – heavy metal music.

When insurgents open fire in Marjah, an armoured vehicle wired up to powerful speakers blasts out country, heavy metal and rock music so loudly it can be heard up to a mile away.

The playlist has been hand-selected to "---- off the Taliban", according to one US special forces officer.

"Taliban hate that music," said the sergeant involved in covert psychological operations, or "psy ops", in the area in Helmand province.

"Some locals complain but it's a way to push them to choose. It's motivating Marines as well,"he added after one deafening round of several hours including tracks from The Offspring, Metallica and Thin Lizzy.

The officer said they also broadcast messages from the Afghan government, as well as threats to the Taliban – there are no obscenities, "but we tell them they're gonna die", he smiled.

Lieutenant Colonel Brian Christmas – the commander of US Marines in northern Marjah – said he was unaware of the musical psy ops.

"It's inappropriate," he said. "I'm going to ask this to stop right now."

Too bad a USMC Lt. Colonel is asking for it to stop.

[Jen06]

So this is what that officer wants to stop. I didn't catch the whole story and thought it had something to do with music and prisoners. This sounds like an excellent idea and should be allowed.

[JenBee]

Oh man I can just HEAR the fucking libtard PROGRESSIVES crying and whining about how we're HURTING THE CULTURAL SENSIBILITIES of these poor Afghan people, who are just fighting us cause we're evil occupiers and they're defending their way of life and Islam is peaceful and...

Oddball did this in Kelly's Heroes, although he played Hank Williams Jr.

[The REAL Bob]

Hey rupaula. What's your bar number?

[J in ms]

I think they should play Five Finger Deathpunch " War is the answer" while dropping glorious amounts of shock and awe.

[William Kane]

I have to say how sad it is some bumb kiss Lieutenant Colonel Brian Christmas us going to demand it stops! I was career Army Officer also trained in psyc ops an this pussy will no doubt get a good review for being PC, who cares if his Marines get motivated by it or it works and who the F cares if these dirtbags in this shit hole find it offensive. By the way how does his name Christmas go over with the Islamofacists? Wanna bet he puts tape over his name so not to offend anyone!

This is funny because the Taliban hate everything, especially anything associated with joy like music. Heavy metal? That's gotta kill 'em - while we kill 'em!

Oh, and if Karzai wants to go over to the Taliban, feel free. Let's see if they take him and if they do, we've got a missile with his name on it.

Im sure Rupaula will be offering its "legal services" to the poor jihadists.

My favorite: Seek and Destroy" by Metallica.

[jack]

Let em Rock n Roll the music loud enough to blow the towels off their heads. Air drop water bottles to them also , laced with LSD to help them enjoy the music.

[Jennifer]

Perfect music to pump our boys up while driving the rag heads loony. Love it!!

[Elric66]

"The Offspring, Metallica and Thin Lizzy."

Only Metallica is Heavy Metal and only the old stuff. Well except for Death Magnetic.

[Elric66]

Obvious this isnt metal but can you think of a more perfect song? Title says it all. :-)

Heavy metal won't do it. It's too melodic. They need to start blasting some death metal, thrash and grindcore: Venom, Goatwhore, Cannibal Corpse, Pig Destroyer, Slayer, Napalm Death, etc.

[Dominic]

I posted my list for Heavy Metal, but... as I think about it now there should be more diversity:

The Wiggles: Fruit Salad (YUMMY YUMMY)

Motley Crue: Primal Scream

Free Credit Report.com commercial: The one with
Pirates. Or cell phones. Or

Barney: I love you

Parliment: We want the funk

Johnny Cash: Ring of fire

B Obama: 17 minute answer to a simple question...

Oscar Meyer Weiner Commercial: Oh I wish I were...

Brooks & Dunn: Boot Scootin' Boogie.

ZZ TOP: Pearl Necklace (No, not 'Jesus Just Left Chicago').

MSNBC Compilation: 10 minutes of Olberman, Maddow, Schultz, etc. will not likely make the jihadis surrender - but rather shoot themselves in the fucking forehead (joyful warm feeling surrounds me at the thought).

Follow it all at the end with the 'Looney Tunes' theme song - with PORKY PIG saying "That's all folks!"

Lieutenant Colonel Daddy-O, "It's inappropriate, I will not lower who and what I am, and what I believe, in order to win strategic ground. I'm going to ask this to stop right now."
