A toast to Pvt Speakman. "At some point in the fighting, Speakman ran out of grenades, so he grabbed whatever else he could find, including rocks and beer bottles."

Capt Brandon Charters It actually kinda makes sense. When you have facing an enemy who attacks with such voracity that they are throwing everything (including the trash) at you to repel your advance, and doing so in small numbers, it at least should give one pause to think about what will happen when faced with that same enemy on a larger scale. I know it is specious reasoning, but the proof is in the article. When all else failed he could have just beat em with the massive stones he was carrying to charge in like that.
