Noise a War Weapon

If noise is unwanted sound then........


"This is how the Americans are now fighting in Afghanistan - loaded up with guns and loud music. The racks of speakers on top of this Humvee are a bizarre weapon dreamt up by the army's PsyOps unit - experts in psychological warfare. The idea is that the music will flush the Taliban out of their hiding places in the mountains. The Taliban banned music when they ruled Afghanistan so these troops are hoping that the sound of Fleetwood Mac will provoke them into an attack. No-one can say if the music is having the desired effect but the Afghan special forces, travelling with the Americans seem to appreciate it. "
