Heavy metal leads Iraqi war effort

The American military is using long sessions of heavy metal music and children’s songs to help break the spirit of some Iraqi prisoners of war, it was reported today.

“Trust me,” one US operative told MSNBC News. “It works.”

Sgt Mark Hadsell said the idea is to break a subject’s resistance by annoying them with what some Iraqis consider culturally offensive music.

The songs used include Bodies from the Vin Diesel XXX film soundtrack and Metallica’s Enter Sandman.

“These people haven’t heard heavy metal before,” Hadsell explained. “They can’t take it.”
