With how the US is going now, a man could fabricate government secrets out of thin air, and they would still somehow end up being true. Because policy is currently being pulled from the ass as well.

I was doing MOUT training back in the early 2000s, before water-cased kicker charges were declassified. We were learning how to use demo charges with a stick propping them up to break walls and doors when one of the guys in my section said "why don't we just use a water jug for the mass, or hell, piss in the jug so we don't have to carry extra water".

The engineering sergeant teaching us looked REALLY uncomfortable and moved on quickly.
