  1. Yeah, this is mostly bullshit. WP is used as illumination, smoke, and marking for other ordnance. It's 100% true, I don't want that shit touching my skin, but if it does, you throw mud on it and go to any medical professional. I was in Fallujah, I've kicked over more clumps of Willie Pete than I can count, I know what the difference between offensive ordnance and flares looks like, and quite frankly, the "outrage" over WP is borne entirely out of ignorance. If artillery is firing WP, it's for an illumination mission. If you're lucky, that's all they shoot. Because if they're just providing light for the infantry, hey, cool. But if they're providing light for an FO who is calling in a REAL artillery mission, yeah, THEN you can start crying. Cause when that FO says "fire for effect", well, you don't want to be there. I never liked the arty guys, used to get in fights with them and shit. Then I heard them firing a mission when I was trying to sleep about a mile away. Those guns shook the ground. Arty is fucking cool. But yeah. Willie Pete isn't an actual weapon, stop crying about it, stop being a faggot.
