US Soldiers use Silly String!
Check out this article:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16079446/
Seems that our soldiers are using Silly String to check for mine/bomb tripwires and such. They also discuss a few other unconventional battle methods used in the field."Political Correctness is just tyranny with manners"

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
~Samuel Adams

Re: US Soldiers use Silly String!
I'd seen that story on one of the news sites (don't remember if it was CNN, Fox, or MSN) this morning. Good old American ingenuity in action! Hopefully mom can get a good supply of the stuff to send to the troops. (I did see that the manufacturer is going to DONATE some of th stuff, and she's already got a pilot lined up to fly the stuff over).
Guns are like shoes...a woman should have one in every caliber.
I'm armed and menopausal...Excuse me, did you have something to say?

Re: US Soldiers use Silly String!
Didnt Micheal Jackson's hair catch on fire in the early 90's because of silly string catching fire while making a pepsi commercial. It was just a joke, sorry if my info was not correct.

Re: US Soldiers use Silly String!
actually, i think michael jackson is completely made out of silly string.
isn't he living in bahrain or something? he's in the area anyway...the troops could grab him and send him into rooms first...that would be a good way to check for booby traps.

Re: US Soldiers use Silly String!
As for the improvisation, we were never told about Silly String, but for mines, you use Shaving Cream. (not the gel). The Tampons thing our CLS instructor told us about that, but most guy don't carry them around to start off with.
There's a lot of stuff that they are coming up with over there that never would have been thought of. Out of need comes ingenuity.Army Strong Originally Posted by IceFire
