After School Special Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 They did this story like 4 years ago. Honest. (not trying to be one of those "OLD!" internet wariors) Just wondering why Wired is doing a story on it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deterrent Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Now rather than insighting fear when soldiers walk into a room a Iraqies will feel a warm fuzzy feeling much like 3 kittins play-fighting in their pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
After School Special Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Read the article. God. It's for detecting trip wires and shit for IED's. Not to be faggots and spray eachother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CILONE/SK Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I did read the article and using sillystring like that is useless. It really does not make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
After School Special Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 How does that not make sense? You spray it into a room, if it hangs up in the middle of the air there is probably a wire there. Are you being serious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CILONE/SK Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Because if you are clearing a room, you are not going to stop to spray sillystring. Also traps that are set, are set to explode when something happens, like when you open the door or you move something. trip wires are rare. What is killing people is IEDs for vehicles and sillystring does not do anything for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After School Special Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 "I'm a former Marine I in Afghanistan. Silly string has served me well in Combat especially in looking for IADs, simply put, booby traps. When you spray the silly string in dark areas, especially when you doing house to house fighting. On many occasions the silly string has saved me and my men's lives. And: When you spray the string it just spreads everywhere and when it sets it lays right on the wire. Even in a dark room the string stands out revealing the trip wire." I agree that roadside IED's are more of an issue. But why not take a simple, low cost low tech step towards not getting blown the fuck up in other situations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CILONE/SK Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Because it is rare that there are trip wire traps over there. I would be more worried about something going off when I open the door or a drawer or something like that then I would be for some wire strung across the hall. You are not suppose to send pornz, but it can be done and he would use it alot more. I am going to send some of my old Soldiers some for xmas.

CILONE/SK Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Also when you are clearing houses, it is a fast pace type of thing and not something you have time to stop and spray sillystring. I am sure that it would work in some places, but I think those would be few and far between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deterrent Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Are you saying the string will go unused? C'mon newbies, read between the lines and pass the mother fuckin' buck here. I don't mean to blow up dudes "shit" but Silly-Stirng will get you high. don't you remember it's smell from when you where younger. This story was concocted by a soldier to his mother so she can feel good about helping all the while the soldier becomes coolest person on base getting served mad derb by every druggaddict officer for delivering mad supplies. The chemicals in silly-string are that of a sedative or anesthetic, effects are trance-like, and users experience a feeling of being "out of body" and detached from their environment. User often become agitated, delusional, and irrational while recovering from its anesthetic effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deterrent Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I've never read anything about it, several friends and I stumbled upon it while naked floating. But then we told 2 friends and so on and so on. But maybe I'm wrong an we need 80,000 cans of it to save our asses (doubtful) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
