#5 True chris. However, I do recall reading a debrief of Germans from Normandy during the bocage campaign where they were constantly monitoring the American's undisciplined radio traffic and thus knew what the Americans were up to. It didn't do their morale much good constantly hearing so much stuff was both heading towards them and on top of them. All they could do was keep plugging holes with less and less and still knowing more and more was pounding on their ever thin lines.

#7 not too mention alot of the soldiers on the Atlantic wall where the younger ones except maybe a few panzer divisions. ALSO the taliban don't care if they die and this gives then time too plant more mines or IEDS

#9 unlike today where the BBC sends messages to the enemy in the clear as well as playing naked propaganda to undermine our efforts abroad

This is apparently corporate practice in Japan. When appropriate, in their best high school English pronunciation.
