An Idea....

[spaceman]

I really fear for our troops going into afghan,specifically ones that maybe captured.....
Why dont we use some thier own medicine agaisnt them......and equip our troops with vials of smallpox,ebola etc...so if they are taken they can at least be assured to take out some of those bastards with them.

The ideal tho would be to lose no ground troops or not use them at all.Tho it doesnt seem we have much of a choice.:*(

I'm definately not thrilled about putting ground troops in jeopardy.

What happens when that stuff falls into Osama's hands? Do you really want an ebola epidemic unleashed on the US?

 

[TonTo]

just go at it old school style.
a huge ass line of guys just walkin......
and shoot anything that the come across

 

[spaceman]

old school style will mean lots of casualities on our side.
screw oldschool....lets infect those bastards with bio weapons....

That is the stupidest idea ever. Suppose one of our guys carrying this vial of smallpox takes a slug through the vial? This would do a great job of aresolizing the stuff in the vial....and infecting his squaddies. OR the guy gets captured and then OBL has a nice, highly virulent strain of smallpox/etc to grow up for himself to use against us or whoever else pisses him off that day. OR someone drops/runs over a box of this stuff at a loadout...and exposes everyone there.

Plus you need concentrated population to make bioweapons work or you only whack those you initially infect, and Afghanistan wasn't San Francisco the last time I checked. Think it through.
