The Pentagon is developing a new insecticidal impregnation for the form

73
The US Department of Defense is exploring the possibility of replacing insect repellent and insecticide, which is soaked in most types of military uniforms. This was reported by military.com.





In the United States, the military is considering replacing permethrin, a substance that impregnates military uniforms to protect against insects, with a less toxic substance.

The new drug is supposed to last longer and extend the life of the uniform. At the moment, permethrin is able to maintain its properties during 50 washing cycles.

Protection from insects is a crucial point for the Pentagon, which conducts many operations in a tropical and subtropical climate. An insect bite can cause a serious illness of one fighter or an entire epidemic. That is why the military is extremely serious about the issue of insecticide.

According to the military, Lyme disease continues to be the main internal threat to US troops when it comes to diseases transmitted by insects within the United States, and diseases transmitted by mosquitoes are the main problem abroad.

To prevent infection, the Pentagon uses a “three-step approach.” First of all, this is the correct wearing of a uniform - “tuck your pants in your shoes, do not tuck your sleeves”. In addition, the military infiltrates the form with repellents and takes various preventive measures. Despite the measures taken, the number of registered cases of diseases caused by insects in the US military is in the hundreds.

Therefore, the Pentagon is trying to increase the effectiveness of existing impregnation, as well as extend its validity. They take into account factors such as sweat, sun rays and abrasion. The Department of Defense is also engaged in research into the spread of Lyme disease, hoping to reduce the number of people who catch the disease.

    Suddenly, out of nowhere, a little mosquito,
    And in his mouth burns a little swag ...

      That's why American soldiers are called "ping with mi" It came from Serbia, they say. (If I'm not mistaken)
      The fact is that if a US soldier is without any part of his ammunition (helmets, armor, knee pad, etc.) and he is injured !! He will not receive insurance for treatment, etc.
      And when "drink jerry USA" put all this on themselves, they look very much like penguins ..
      And Americans are very offended by this laughing Even the order was issued by the General of Russia in Yugoslavia not to call the pind o.sov "pindo sami" In order not to aggravate the situation.

            The Greeks, just - and. The local name (nickname) of the Greeks, common in southern Russia and Ukraine, apparently from the name of the Greek mountains.

            Pind [1] (other Greek and Greek Πίνδος, Pindos [2]) - mountains in the west of the Balkan Peninsula, in northern Greece and in Albania (northern foothills). The largest mountain system in Greece.

              This lecture is useless, I know perfectly well that the Greeks have to do with the Pindos. But the nickname of the Americans has nothing to do with the Greeks. And certainly the Russian soldiers of KFOR, who were addressed by the officer's boot, like, "with a request not to name," American soldiers were not called Greeks behind their backs. Like leers who, moreover, bustle in front of more powerful authorities. And it looked shameful and cowardly, neither the soldiers nor the officers spoke to the face of the American soldiers, but among themselves, they allowed themselves it; which their commanders openly complained about.

    American clothes are doing some kind of bullshit. Here they would take an example from ours: now the yellow border on the breast tags, then red, then the emblems of the branches of the army with leaves, then without, then the shoulder straps on the chest, then again on the shoulders. And the sewing-on "spools" into the buttonholes of the "office" form, which was recently extolled precisely for the fact that nothing needs to be sewn to it? Yes, yes, those "coils", the symbolism of which is the main military secret of our state, since no one knows about this, except perhaps the very, very top authorities. That's where the swing is! That's where the flight of thought is! Well, the fact that the firms for the production of annually replaced attributes, which for the most part employees are also forced to acquire annually at their own expense, do not forget to bring thanks to their benefactors ...

    The article is complete bullshit, but the news is worth it!
    We will analyze. Impregnation against parasites will never extend the life of the mold. Permethrin is toxic - this is true, but not outdoors in tropical countries, everything is toxic there, including your own sweat after a march. And, nevertheless, they are changing it. What for ? It is stated that ticks will bite less and the shape will last longer. Directly all the most important issues are solved by one impregnation!
    I have reason to believe that the US Army is preparing to make possible the use of "non-lethal" biological weapons as a standard means. The servicemen who will wear the "new" uniform will not even know anything. But their enemies (that is, you and I) will suffer from unusually evil ticks and incredibly active mold and fungi, unusually infectious mosquitoes. These samples cause epidemics and die. Their main task is to infect the human body, but in nature they are not viable.
    Subsequently, it may turn out that the American uniform is magical, and the USA is the "best" country in the world, because everyone who will wear a uniform with the "new" impregnation will be relatively healthy. But the rest of the "tropical aborigines" will suffer from ulcers and scabs, hair loss, inflammation of the urinary tract and blood poisoning, plus periodic paralysis from ticks, which will be everywhere. Thus, sooner or later, only American bases will be combat-ready in the range of American bases. I think that the impregnation in the form can be very different in different tropical countries and not so, in the end, harmless as it is declared now ...
    This is my suspicion.

      Candidate of Military Sciences (Terenty Kapitonovich) Today, 04:02 am ... I have reason to believe that the US Army is preparing to make possible the use of "non-lethal" biological weapons as a standard means. ...

      There is something in it. How many mericatos have bio-sec. Laboratories done all over the world? In only one unnecessary stuck full. Just because capitalism will not throw grandmas into the wind, it needs profit from everything. He starts something, adversary. angry

        They have advanced research in the field of genetics, we do not have this, we only have food chemistry, which has already poisoned the whole people, and will soon be completely taken to the grave. And they have already been using their science, for more than 20 years, otherwise - they poison everyone else. All the above time, the results of their "activities" are recorded all over the world, this is a very obvious process. Genetically reconfigured flora and fauna are the most effective targeted weapons.
        I think for today they are already completely bold and want to put their "achievements" on a mass conveyor. This is strategically important for the next wars, which is why they are changing their "impregnation" right now.

    Why not impregnation from Russian bears !? Or reckoning that at a meeting with a clubfoot they’ll do it themselves ...

      The old hunter teaches the young:

      - You just see how we will approach the den, do not step on the shit.
      - So, where is the shit coming from?
      - There will be a bear - there will be shit!

      I’m not sure that any of the words used above is not obscene in VO.

        We know this story. She always has the same outcome. ... As a result, from the "hunters" only anecdote remains. How many times have you confused minefields and bait with bear shit ... Would you not write nonsense, it won't roll anymore. And then you will fall into the World Red Book. Let me remind you that there are listed those that will no longer survive under any circumstances.

          First of all, not polite individuals who are used to being rude to strangers are not going to survive.

          A joke is a joke. If, for some reason, he coincides with your shit with your personal experience, please excuse me, but there is a joke.

            You have mixed rudeness with frankness and sympathy. Judging by your posts, you are not used to it. ... Over the past 25 years, I was not mistaken in my forecasts and preferences.
