> From: Popeyesays@AOL.COM This is assuming that he suffers a wound which disables him immediately, then begins the insidious work of killing him. But in a combat situation, how many soldiers would sustain wounds that under normal circumstances would be mere flesh wounds, were it not for the Plutonium poisoning? Now you face an enemy who knows he is going to die, yet can still fight. He has no reason to fear death, because it's already at the door. You can't keep his head down with supression fire, because he WANTS to be shot in the head - he's bent on two things, revenge and a quicker death tan the one you've already sentenced him to. He will be relentless, fearless, and the only way to stop him is to bring him down - you can't make him run from the one thing he would most welcome. Forget Dead Man Walking - this is Dead Man Killing.
