Why is there a period in the title? --mav 07:30, 15 Aug 2003 (UTC)

[edit] good question

Why the capital letter in "combat" but not in "system"?

[edit] ==

It's probable that LINE is not taught with the described method, simply because even three hundred pounds of force directed at an opponent's face isn't going to kill reliably. Situations of non-lethal utomobile accidents include force that exerts anywhere from eight hundred pounds of force, driving a person headfirst through a windshield, and against concrete. Even an athletic marine trained to kill by stomping on someone's face will, at most, exacerbate blood loss and cause disfigurement and pain -- but could not kill the average healthy adult soldier with this method.

I suspect that whoever labelled this an official military text is spouting fiction in their vanity, and it's not an ego-boost that Wikipedia is here for. A lethal manuever would be blunt force on the throat.

So very wrong. I don't know much about physics so bare with me. In a car accident you are usually hit in the face with an airbag while it hits you with alot of force it also gives which cushions and spreads the blow across a larger surface. Non-airbag impacts such as flying through a windshield also has teh advantage of give where the glass gives out (shatters or cracks) and also spreads teh force across a larger surface. Also there are incidenst where the head is knocked back by the blow being able to reduce the damage by "rolling" with the hit. But if your head is stomped on effeciently and powerfully by a muscular soldier wearing combat boots you cant roll with the blow and most of the force is under the hell not the whole foot. This means you have force at a smaller area not being absorbed by the whole surface and that the head cant "roll" with the blow because the ground prevents this. ALso sign your comments. And powerful force to the temple is often fatal.Eno-Etile 09:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
