Siege Music

Post by Jason The Argonaut »

In Fallujah's darkened, empty streets, U.S. troops blast AC/DC's "Hell's Bells" and other rock music full volume from a huge speaker, hoping to grate on the nerves of this Sunni Muslim city's gunmen and give a laugh to Marines along the front line.

Unable to advance farther into the city, an Army psychological operations team hopes a mix of heavy metal and insults shouted in Arabic including, "You shoot like a goat herder" will draw gunmen to step forward and attack. But no luck Thursday night.

The loud music recalls the Army's use of rap and rock to help flush out Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega after the December 1989 invasion on his country, and the FBI's blaring progressively more irritating tunes in an attempt to end a standoff with armed members of the Branch Davidian cult in Waco, Texas in 1993.

The Marines' psychological operations came as U.S. negotiators were pressing Fallujah representatives to get gunmen in the city to abide by a cease-fire.
Siege Music a simple way of drawing your enemy out of hiding. Either annoying your enemy so much the just don't care if they live or die as long as they dont have to listen to an more country music :lol:. Or shout insults at them like "You shoot like a goat herder":o . I would of opted for your mother looks like a goat but there you go.:lol:

I guess some of the most famous Siege songs used buy the military were the ones used in Vietnam. I can't remember many of them except CCR's Vietnam Song, also Jimmy Hendrix's War. Any one else ?

But on a serious note, has siege music been a success when you used ? I believe they used is allot in Vietnam, but did it work ?

Not bad Gazza but let me add some thing to your plan. Attach radio's to the pig's, playing "I Know A Song That Will Get On Your Nerves, Get On Your Nerves". Now that should get the buggers up an out. :lol:

A couple of weeks ago there was a programme on channel 4 called the worlds crazy leaders, or something like that.

Anyway, it said that the Americans had been playing the barney song to captured Iraqi prisoners until they told them what they wanted to hear. Could you imagine that, the barney song on loop for 24 hours? I’d tell them anything they would want to know after 10 minutes.

They also stuck hostages in metal containers and blasted them with metalica. :lol:

Yeh i read the book that part of the programme was based on called "the men who stare at goats"

They have a special forces regiment called the first earth battalion which does all types of experiments, Uri geller was attached to it in the 70's.

They did stuff like play loud music with mood alertering frequencies hidden behind it, and try to run through walls and stuff.

O and my pig comment came from something i read about the Israelis thinking of training Pigs as border sniffer pigs, they aparently have better smell than dogs and they want to use them because of the Muslim 70 virgin thing

I'd just send Noel Edmonds and Dave Lee Travis to Fallujah.
They'd be surrendering by the cart load.
Wholley. :P

Well theres always Howard Stern.
I would'nt object too much.Probably a little too Jewish though.
If Kenny Everet or John Peel were still with us the first would kill them with laughter and dear John would bore them into surrender with his laid back Liverpudlian accent.Then there's the secret weapon,so secret I 'm not sure I should mention it./-....-.-.-.--/.......-...-...-.-.-
