You won’t believe this but the local CBS affiliate has a show on RIGHT NOW (11:15 Central Time) that is showing a fellow teaching a teenage lady how to shoot a shotgun. Then they gave skeet a try. CBS? I’d sooner thought they would come out and endorse each and every program President Trump is requesting, plus demanding all illegal immigrants be loaded on a ship and sent back to their homelands.
 
How about you go fucking arrest them instead of telling us you know about them? We live in clown world.

 
Did you pack his chute?...no. I thought you packed the chute. Oh well.
:cool:
It's not my job to pack his chute!

FYI: During WWII the SOE wanted to set up a ruse to convince the Germans that there were German operatives working within the German borders for the Allies.

To convince them of this; Operation Periwig was born. Here's an article on Periwig but it isn't the complete story. Read the article first then what I have to say after you're done.


In Leo Marks' book, "Between Silk and Cyanide" he writes about his part in Periwig. Mr. Marks was a cryptographer for the Birtish SOE.

He was tasked to come up with fake code books, onetime pads and other codes on silk handkerchiefs. As you know from reading the above article, fake radio traffic would be used to add to the deception. That fake traffic would also be encrypted but not so difficult for the Germans to decipher.

The icing on the cake was a German Officer named Schiller. He was held in a POW camp near Basingstroke, England. He was a double agent who initially worked for the Germans.

Apparently he grew bored with the life of a POW and offered to help the British in their espionage efforts in his Fatherland. The Brits, never to look down their noses at a favor, gladly accepted his offer.

Mr. Marks was to brief Herr Schiller on his use of codes. There were several that Schiller needed briefed on and a few of these were not unfamiliar with him as he used them before when working for the Germans.

Several hours were spent on Herr Schiller's training over tea and biscuits. Several days later, Schiller was scheduled to parachute into Germany with radio equipment and enough encryption material to disperse to other agents helping England.

Mr. Marks' performance was convincing enough because Herr Schiller was enthusiastic about his mission when the cryptographer left him.

Herr Schiller was found dead several days later by the Gestapo with all of his issued equipment. His parachute did not open.

The German section of the SOE started broadcasting fake encrypted messages to phantom agents in Germany within a day of Schiller's "accidental" death.

Lest anyone feel sorry for Schiller, remember that he compromised and caused the death of a lot of British agents when he worked for the Germans.

Parachute failure, although imaginative, isn't original.
