I understand that the general quality of Military Training of Many
of those who post here is, to be graceful, rather limited. And that
with this Abysmal level of Understanding is a concomittant level of
understanding of Military History.

Let us therefore take a brief review of the matter of "Spiking The Cannon."

When first introduced as a breach loading system, with the simple
"torch hole" by which to ignite the powder, the phrase
"Spiking the Cannon" came into existence, as one rendered useless
the Cannon by STUFFING a Spike into the 'torch hole' so that the
'slow match' or 'punk' would not be able to light off the powder.

This Policy was used by both offensive and defensive tacticians. The
former, as they were making a raid with the intention of limiting
the number of useable cannon that could be fired at them. The latter
as a means of rendering Useless those cannon which, due to the expediency
and exegenisis of the current tactical environment obliged a redeployment
of field manueverable units to such a disposition as would precipitate
the potential acquisition of said artillery by those forces not currently
aligned with the redeplying defensive units. { warn me if I get too
technical, or fall into HaigSpeak here. }

The process of actually putting cement into the barrels of artillery
and Missile Siloes { for those of you who have not kept abreast of
the various SALT agreements, this is how a Ballistic Missle Submarine,
(SSBN) is converted to a "Slow Attack Boat" - read also PigBarge. } is
essentially a modern notion developed by 
LeftistLeaningPascifistToadiesOfTheInternationalRedMenance.[1]

I am, therefore a bit confused as to how best to interpret JS's
alledged analogy. Is he advocating that as a tactical Manuever men
should stuff a Bayonet Up their, well, you know, MANTOOL[tm] so as
to render it tactically Nuetral?

Or that the Whole Notion of "Spiking Cannons" is an Abomination
against God, as it is Obviously UnNatural, and CounterIntuitive to
the ForeOrdained 'Grand Design of God' ?????

I would also seem compelled to agree with Susan, that given his inclinations,
it would be a reasonable point to stand UP and be against Contraceptives!

And Would Also like to point out that I think, from the 'abomination
before god' point that JS also Agree's that the Reagan Policy to destroy
intermediary range nuclear launch platforms, was a Clear Sign that
Reagan Had Separated Himself from God's Divine Plan, and had Fallen
Prey to the SeXualarHumanists. [2]

[1] except where explicitly mandated by international treaty the
Red Army has maintained the inventory of what, by western standards,
are considered 'obsolete' weaponry, or have redepolyed said assets
{ as with the T-34/85 which have been dug in, as pillboxes on the
sino_soviet border} to an alternative configuration.

[2] It should be likewise noted that after this Abomination before God,
that Reagan No longer Spoke of the Evil Empire! And in like manner,
that the current Economic Complications can be directly seen as the
Wrath of God for just such Abominations....
