Interview with a Marine

[Dinger]

Yeah, the guy's not an expert in much.

ICBM is probably what the reporter heard when the guy said "ICM" though, "Improved Combat Munition", which are a family of subs including AP varieties (straight ICM) as well as anti-vehicle/anti-personnel mixes (DPICM)

I'm guessing that a mentally ill reporter pwn3d himself.

While the article is very suspicious I think this is very intresting...

From article about DPICM.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/dpicm.htm

The use of dud-producing munitions such as DPICM during Operation Iraqi Freedom in early 2003 incurred a penalty, restricting Marine'sr maneuver and follow-on operations in areas after their use. Marines were killed or seriously injured after encounters with dud munitions. After combat operations ceased, the duds continued to be a danger during civil-military operations, both to Marines and civilians. The use of dud producing munitions must be carefully considered in light of the penalty that will have to be paid later. The use of DPICM needs to be carefully considered in its employment. A better round needs to be developed that does not have a 2-4% dud rate.
