#3 I'm sure they're well trained in setting tiny little electronic targeting devices that cruise missiles can home in on. "Good morning, Mullah bin Lad (BOOM!!!)...

#4 These guys would probably blend in, and do the job, but not too many around these days.

#12 Navajo, Sioux, Lakota and Apache

All I can say is, if the Jihadi's think they can scare us by sending us videos of people getting their heads wacked off, they ain't seen nothing yet until they see a dead person without a scalp. There is something horific about a face with an exposed shiney white skull above the eye brow line.

Thank God they are on our side now...

#14 An old Apache trick was to hang somebody from a tree limb by their ankles, then build a small fire under their head. Hours of entertainment.

Of course, if they really didn't like you, they would give you to their women.

#16 My ancestors were MicMac from Canada.
I found this prayer that I thought was appropriate.

Source: http://www.firstpeople.us/html/The_Hunters.html

The Hunters

There were but two beneath the sky -
The thing I came to kill, and I.
I, under covert, quietly
Watched him sense eternity
From quivering brush to pointed nose
My gun to shoulder level rose.
And then I felt (I could not see)
Far off a hunter watching me.
I slowly put me rifle by,
For there were two who had to die -
The thing I wished to kill, and I.

I offer this to the First Nations people helping in the WOT, Kulelomok. Good luck!
