Ohh - That's Nasty!

I was just listening to Fox - they gave a report on Fallopian - er - Fallujah - where the "insurgents" were firing on the Marines with artillery, so the Marines returned fire.

For the unindoctrinated, WP will burn through just about anything and the burning can only be temporarily halted by immersion in water. As soon as the area affected dries out, the burning commences once again.

I've always had a lot of respect for WP. I think it should be used more often.
