My name is Tóntoe Himén and I fought in Vietnam. My platoon was ordered to go on multiple search and destroy missions to kill VC. We were constantly
trying to determine how many VC where in a zone we had to clear and the expected distance to enemy VC. We were not
provided dogs to sniff out the VC. The best method we had was to take a shit and observe how long it would take flies
to land on the shit. Typically if there was a large enemy group near by, you would see flies land more quickly on the shit and in larger numbers.
An argument was also made that flies land on double mechanical action machines at a higher frequency. Mechanics in chop shops will make vicious arguments about
flies disproportionally landing on cars and tools that are pieces of shit. Flies are attracted to the essence of the
shit not the smell or physical shape or appearance but the actual soul of the poop. The AK-47 much like shit has a soul and essence that the insect
can locate. i'm talking about the fly landing on the weapon like a pile of shit. You dont observe this phenomenon until you've gripped piece of shit weapons
outside like a hunter dropping a bear face deep in a pile of apples you left in the woods. We spent a substantial amount of time spying on shit to get a
baseline landing time established before we actually had to go in to the jungle to kill VC. False VC-positives occurred but the logic was sound.

you can also test flies in a completely dark room with a pile of shit. but i'll not argue that they have thermal vision.

ham and cheeses with lil VC.
