Some Iraqis say the soldiers take special pills that keep them cool, but the most common theory is that they have portable air-conditioners -- usually said to be inside the vests, but sometimes placed in the helmet or even the underwear.

A humorous article about Iraqi conspiracy theories and urban legends spawned by the occupation. Enjoy and please try not to turn this into a ****storm.

Oh hell, I just noticed the date on the article.... it's still funny though.

I saw a show on Discovery a couple weeks ago that showed how any regular digital camera can be tuned int a camera that can see through some objects.  All it involved was removing the inferred filter from the board and installing a filter over the lens.  Took the guy only a few minutes to do.  It could see through plastic (they showed it viewing through a cell phone to show the circuitry), some clothing, etc.  Couldn't see through dense cotton though for some reason.  Also made all the security features on money show up.

Ya know what the US army needs?
Terminator Power Armor. That would scare the locals s***less.

Good find, equally funny and disturbing.

How does the army stand the heat?
