“Abu Jihad is sleeping with the pigs”?

The burying with pigs was allegedly done in the Philippine-American war, but I never heard of any hard evidence that it really happened. But then they were tough times. Here is an interesting read if you have the time:

That lying SOB of a IMDB. I TRIED “Bengal Lancer” in Amazon and it didn’t find it, so I thought “Maybe it’s not on DVD” so I went to IMDB and looked it up there and it had some stupid silent film from 1901 and something from the fifties. I KNEW that was what it was called!

The Lives of a Bengal Lancer seems a likely candidate. Gary Cooper! Apparently this is the movie that originated the phrase "We have ways of making you talk". I always thought that had to be said with a German accent.

Lives of a Bengal Lancer?

There’s a part in one of Colleen McCullough’s Caesar books where he’s going to war against a German tribe of some sort and since they worship trees, he cuts down all the trees. I wonder if it’s true. I hope so. It was a good story.

Then there’s that movie from the 30s about the Lancers with some famous actor in it as the new guy who shows up fresh from Sandhurst and is really really young… and the commander threatens one of the Muslim labourers that he’ll kill him and stitch his body up in the hide of a pig if he doesn’t pick up the pace… What the heck is the name of that movie…

Great article.

Clearly the next ROE enhancement is to take the bodies, wrap them in pig skin and bury them at an undisclosed location, while advertising that this is what is being done. (I believe the Brits did this in some earlier war). Seriously, I cannot understand the horrified reaction to this proposal that erupts from the (dhimmified part of the) west. It is one thing not to make a fuss about primitive, but friendly, people's superstitions, it is altogether another thing to buy into and accommodate the superstitions of an enemy.

There are so many hooks in the defective mental make up of these people that we could be exploiting left, right and centre. This is just one.
