Hell's Bells

The U.S. marines are having some fun in Fallujah.

Hoping to provoke a fight the marines are blaring AC/DC and Jimi Hendrix tunes into the city. As well if you're trying to provoke a fight a few insults are in order:
Unable to advance farther into the city, an Army psychological operations team hopes a mix of heavy metal and insults shouted in Arabic — including, “You shoot like a goat herder” — will draw gunmen to step forward and attack.

...

At night, the psychological operations unit attached to the Marine battalion here sends out messages from a loudspeaker mounted on an armored Humvee. On Thursday night, the crew and its Arabic-language interpreter taunted fighters, saying, “May all the ambulances in Fallujah have enough fuel to pick up the bodies of the mujahadeen.”

The message was specially timed for an attack moments later by an AC-130 gunship that pounded targets in the city.
Heck if you've got to be there you might as well have a little fun.
