Apache gunships engage squirters, I mean insurgents

“Squirters”,

in modern parlance,

is the term used for anyone

who escapes the Apache’s initial Hellfire —

anyone who needs to be cleaned up with the Gatling gun.

The Predator “pilots” use it, too. It’s used by the video

gamers raining very real multi-million dollar fire

down on little brown dudes

with muskets.

Occupy

a country, and one

rock-solid certainty is that

there will always be young men congregating

in alleyways and on street corners trying to figure out how

to stick a knife or bullet in your neck. Keep posting videos of them

planting IEDs and shooting their $50 muskets at your $20 million

gunships, and you can sustain a war indefinitely.

Even if you refer to human beings

as squirters in your

videos.
