"We Need Water, Captain." - The Pacific (2010) #shorts #thepacific #movie #scene #movieinsight #ww2
The Pacific is a 2010 American war drama miniseries produced by HBO, Playtone, and DreamWorks that premiered in the United States on March 14, 2010.
The series is a companion piece to the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers and focuses on the United States Marine Corps's actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations within the wider Pacific War. Whereas Band of Brothers followed the men of Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment through the European Theater, The Pacific centers on the experiences of three Marines (Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge, and John Basilone) who were in different regiments (1st, 5th, and 7th, respectively) of the 1st Marine Division.

The battle on Peleliu goes on as the Marines continue towards the airfield. It's only the second day of fighting on the island but drinkable water is in short supply - the Japanese had poisoned the small quantities of water that were available - and the heat is excruciating. They are under constant bombardment from Japanese artillery located in the Peleliu Hills, and the only way to force the Japanese to halt their bombardment is to seize their artillery positions altogether. However, in order to do that, they would have to cross the airfield: a vast, open expanse. (Fandom: The Pacific Wiki)
YOU CAN WATCH THIS TV MINI SERIES "THE PACIFIC" (2010), THROUGH OUR WEBSITE IN OUR BIO
The battle on Peleliu never needed to happen! The airfield, played zero strategic bearing! All they had to do is bomb the hell out of it and stop any supplies. Japs would’ve starved. The airfield wasn’t even used! Marines sent 26-28,000 to invade an island w/11,000 Japanese. 10,900 Japanese give or take, died. 9,800 marines killed or wounded. This island was NOT a necessary.
Realistically they could've blown the airfield with navy guns. They were hitting the hills no problem. Not a single one of those men really needed to be on this island.
@@CarlTheSpudmaybe they wanted to take over the airfield
@@kroxi524You are absolutely correct. That was the mistake made. The same at Iwo-Jima. As the airfield settled on was in Okinawa. It was a tragic waste of life. The combatants themselves had 0 influence on the selection of these targets. And if we laid out a map of the area it becomes even more disgustingly obvious why Okinawa was settled on and had a little more thought gone into things... hindsight is always 20/20
And if the airfield on okinawa was lost they didnt have either. Its not black and white
During a battle in Iraq I spent 4 hours laying in the prone it was August and 120 degrees. The difference for me was when it was all over i got to go to an air conditioned aid station and get a couple bags of IV and some schrapnel removed from my face. I cant imagine being in that heat and humidity with no water. My Grandfather was on Guadalcanal, New Britain and this Battle. He was a mean nasty drunk.
The shit he saw and had to endure. It's a shame he never could put those demons back in that bottle
@@Manager_Misterits impossible to at that point
Feels weird to say "thank you for your service" when I'm not American, but I'm happy you made it and I hope you're doing well :)
Don’t care at all
@@Aceg13579Just gotta be a prick dont ya.
In all Quiet on the Western Front, Paul said he and the other german soldiers were so hungry, they actually did raids on the enemy trenches, not to gain any ground, but in a desperate attempt to get food and water.
During WWI Hitler would volunteer at times to creep out into no man's land to scavenge meat off of dead horses
@@Less_SeriousYep. Goes to show that war is indeed hell
I read that book a while ago but don’t remember much of it, but holy hell I couldn’t imagine what those men in the world wars went through
@@Less_Serious -Nobody should "like" Hitler?...But living through the Hell of WW1..you MIGHT come to understand him...if not approve of how he ended up.
And then they come back with some literally bloodsoaked loaf of bread and the other guy just tells him to scrape it off
“We have no water” *smokes a cigarette*
Stress managing strategy. He know they will come under fire in the minutes to comes and maybe die.
Under those circumstance, many people will do almost anything to divert them from the reality of a very real imminent death.
Some soldiers pray while their are atheist, other confess crimes or bad attitudes, some even piss themselves.
That's their bodies and mind trying to managing stress.
It is a stimulant at its core.
I think it's telling that SNAFU always tries to come off as such a prick, but he barely drinks any of the water even though he's clearly just as desperate as everyone else.
Especially after hes smoking, mans tongue must br cracked and hes still barely taking any
@@narrowstone5363some guys all they need is a cig. Gives them plus 20 on all there stats lol.
You should see Snafu’s face when Oswald says he’s got a little bit of water left and he hands it to Sledge. Even a hard tough motherfucker like snafu needs water too
Meriell Shelton (aka SNAFU), had a reputation as a bit of an asshole and a fuckup, hence his nickname. On the other hand, Eugene Sledge spoke of him highly in his memoir.
Shelton and Sledge lost touch with each other after the war for 35 years. Shelton got back in touch with Sledge after Sledge's book, "With The Old Breed" was published. Shelton had been an air conditioning repairman, Sledge had been a biology professor. Two very different men with very different lives.
He has to share the water. Not to mention your body can only metabolize so much water before it gets used to filter out the toxins your body makes or takes on.
You know you got a good loyal group of brothers when you share what little water you have left. Good move Bill.
It wasn’t bills water, it was oswalts
Yep, one guy could have just swigged the whole thing and I guarantee no one would have said anything. Just knowing that they probably needed it that bad. They would all be quiet. The fact that they shares just sips... is true friendship. Just water touching ur lips at that point is a godsend

Exactly.
I couldn't imagine such hell. Glad my gramps got through it.
People really don’t realize the difficulty of logistics especially in a war lmao
If im not mistaken marines had even worse logistics than the army......
@@amirysyafy4801 You want logistics? Join the Army. That's what they say.
Wars are fought by men and won by logistics. That's why America has the largest network of military bases around the world. So they have readily available supplies everywhere in the world in no time.
If you read about a lot of wars, logistics was always a problem. No one denied the importance of it especially when resources were scarce in general.
More difficult than what these Marines were dealing with? Lolno
Eventually, the ships send water to shore but using jerry cans that was originally used to transport petrol. It was totally undrinkable.
That's really fucking stupid, just goes to show there's a price to being a hero eh
yep. Eugene describes feeling stupid for not washing their oil storing barrels better in the book beforehand despite the fact admitting these are 100% different cans.
Tell that to most navy ships nowadays, I'm immune to everything thanks to jp5
If i remember correctly too they talk about getting reaupplied with either ammo or water in a transport armped vehicle. Which someone packed in like 50 gallon containers rather than the 7.5 or 12 they normally used i think.
The exact same thing happen to the Jadotville Jacks... their water jerrycans had been used for petrol so their entire water resupply was spoiled.
During the second day of the battle and a bit beyond, engineers back on the beach were trying to figure out how to create some makeshift wells to get the Marines some water, but it had little success until the beach was fully secured. Elsewhere offshore, the Navy tried to secure a bunch of fruit drinks to send ashore to Peleliu for the Marines. Unfortunately, its likely that not many of the Marines by the airfield were made aware of that development. Later on, Japanese troops in Horseshoe valley in northern Peleliu found themselves in a similar predicament to the Marines, but with no relief. A large exposed sinkhole at the valley's entrance was full of fresh water, and had been used early on by Japanese troops. By the time the Marines and Army had moved in and reduced Japanese presence in the area, the sinkhole, since renamed by the US "Grinlinton pond" had spotlights set up around it, so that when Japanese troops tried to collect water at night, they'd be spotted and shot.
"Any questions?"
"We need water captain."
"That's not a fucking question"
He was eluding to it without demanding it, its the sort of talk you have to have for superiors.
This scene is crazy. The ammount of death they capture really shows you what a meat grinder the pacific campaign was.
Yeah would love to see more about this very litle is shown some movies pearl harbor and over there and thats it there are so many stories even in the named theatres stil to uncover
50 million soldiers.. 50 million stories...
My paternal grandfather was in there while in the Army. He barely ever shared his experiences and he was combat support. The little we do know was probably something that just slipped out by accident, very selective about or on his discharge papers. His older brother was serving on the USS Honolulu but not sure how much he talked about his experiences.
Imagine taking the entire pacific, Island by Island, from a world superpower, over the course of 4 years and still taking less casualties than R has in the first two years of their invasion of U. Just to give a reference to the scale of what most people believe to be a low intensity conflict.
The Germans killed way more Americans than the Japanese did. They also survived for longer under way more pressure
American casualties were hardly 10 percent of what the Soviets suffered. And yet the Pacific island war is called a meat grinder.
The Anglo Saxon govts of USA and GB conveniently waited for the Soviets to do their bidding and then launch their landings and offensive.
If not for the Soviets launching the Manchurian offensive the us forces would not have rushed for the atomic bomb after Okinawa.
I did some checking on how effective a carcass is with poisoning a water supply. The main problem is bacteria from decomposition so as long as the water is boiled it might be safe. Additional hazard might be parasites. Again, boiling should work. But boiling won't help the foul taste.
Hard to boil water when you’re getting shelled and banzai charged every few mins
Chlorine is about the only way. You cannot remove absolutely everything from water contaminated by a dead animal and throughout history this was the best way to contaminate water so your kinda right
@isaaccrabtree5188 That's true. Hypothetically, they could fill their empty canteens and retreat a bit to boil but obviously marines ain't retreating over anything.
You still run the risk of getting sick bear in mind that the carcass is decomposing in heat and humidity and also the water is stagnant!
@@agharbi1724 Yeah... makes sense that they wouldn't risk it.
We need them boys in thar hills
I read both books. At one point when they were desperate for water, the navy emptied oil drums and filled them with water and sent them up to the Marines.
Problem was that they didnt rinse the drums clean first, so the Marines had to drink water that was contaminated with oil, which made them sick and damaged their organs for life.
Times never change I guess. The Navy still gives out oil-contaminated water with JP5 in it. Organs will continue to be damaged for life…the tradition carries on
@@MrJH101tbf that's not the same thing lmao, you are comparing to a fuel line and plumbing failure to a wartime incident
The Pacific is amazing though very raw honest and depressing too. They told the true shit of what actually happened. No sugar coating
The military in combat is all about human extremes.
We had supplies totally cutoff for 12 days due to the threat of ieds and ambushes in a hilly region with bamboo.
Had to forage and eat. Even their, the senior supply ncos from infantry would take the best of the foraged food and cater only the non nutritious part leftovers for the forward troops.
Water was also rationed at 500 ml per person per day as the water streams and water springs had ambushes most times by the insurgents.
It was a total state of suffering for the men and officers for almost two weeks.
And this was in 2007!!
I can only imagine how worse it would have been in 1939-45.
The soldiers only become further dehumanised with such suffering.
Imagine what it was like in King Richard's time...or Hannibal's. No boots but sandals, no medics, no concept of germs, sutures or vitamins and nutrition, and no painkillers...
Indian Army?
@@rikk319 irrespective of time and the progress made , combat and military are extreme forms of human suffering
@@r-vinth7923 Too true.
"the senior supply ncos from infantry would take the best of the foraged food and cater only the non nutritious part leftovers for the forward troops"
Those are some shitty leaders.
I'm from the UK. The US fought very bravely, very tough, and they helped liberate British PoWs held by the Imperial Japanese (as well as many many others) when they defeated Japan. They also prevented the Soviet Union from invading and capturing any Japanese islands, which has massively helped peace and stability in that region ever since. The men that fought that war have my undying gratitude: I know Americans get a lot of stick, some of it fair, but you have fought for the freedoms of Europe, Japan, and countless other nations. Semper Fi America, Semper Fi.
My great grandfather was in ww2 in the Philippines at Luzon.
This is the lamest comment on here. Congrats, limey.
There was a war documentary I saw on how the Americans had liberated the remaining Canadian survivors from the Japanese attack of Hong Kong where our Brit betters had left us to fend for ourselves against the Imperial Army with only Lee-Enfields.....
Those who lived through it then had 4 years being starved by those bastards.
How emaciated they were....and how the American captain of a hospital transport shipping them home assigned a USN seaman to each recovering Canadian to watch over them 24-7.
As they assembled on deck he said, "Any time one of these boys wants ANYTHING to eat, day or night, this sailor will get it for them."
They then proceeded to feed them a huge meal, in the typical American fashion of generosity and plenty.
Of course it was far too much for many of these sick Canadians, and being on a boat probably didnt help, and there was alot of vomit these American sailor/guardians had to clean up, which they did without hesitation or disgust, much in a similar way to how they had, in their zeal to help, overfed some concentration camp survivors in Europe.
Just a small tale of those hate-filled evil Yanks you always hear about.
My grandfather fought in the war in the Pacific.
The USSR did occupy 4 Kuril Islands. Russia still controls them. Probably small compared to other USSR land grabs, though.
The flinching really makes me feel anxiety during the scene. I feel like most movies the soldiers just ignore it and I’m sure they are taught not to react to gun fire but it does make drinking water feel life threatening
Who has ever been so thirsty...i swear cold water is like heaven when your dying of thirst
The one thing that always stuck out to me during my time as a paratrooper is how I never enjoyed anything in its totality by myself. If I had a candy bar, we had a candy bar. And vice versa.
That'd get annoying.
@@StreetDogSteve until you don’t have a candy bar
@@TS-np6co If i'm only getting a tiny piece whenever I bring one anyway, then that's fine. I prefer it when everyone is prepared for themselves.
I get the whole camaraderie thing, but man sometimes I just want my damn candy bar to myself.
One of my uncle's fought on Guadalcanal, Pelilu, Tarawa, Saipan, Okinawa, etc.
He was with the 1st Marine division.
First marines didn’t fight at tarawa or Saipan bud
@@jkem4921I was thinking the same thing.
Get your stupid story out of here. 27 infantry division and 2nd marine division fought on tarawa and 4th marine and 27 infantry again fought in Saipan.
Well considering Tarawa and Saipan was fought with the 2nd Marine division I’m gonna cast some doubt on your story
Your uncle was gay.
After the atomic bomb was dropped they hit the world back with anime and hello kitty.
pretty even trade off i would say
Wouldn't be as dehydrated if they weren't smoking.
Managing stress strategy.
Smoking isn't a real good idea, but it's a soially accepted wat way to managing stress when in a deadly danger environnement.
You see that in Band of Brother when winters smoke after an unexploded shell fell very near him.
In some testimony, some soldiers piss on themselves, others confess some bad talk, others pray even if their are atheist.
This is all managing stress strategy.
Whoever was responsible for logistics for this operation should've been court-martialed and sent to jail for risking these soldiers' lives. Dehydration is as lethal on the battlefield as bullets, especially when fighting on dry, desert terrain like Peleliu.
If you read sledges book they had water in abundance however some genius had the water shipped in drums what had been used for storing oil-“cramps gripped the pit of my stomach,I swore I’d never slack off on another work detail.” Sledge is describing the work detail to scrub these drums.
@@litorres4125 I haven't read Sledge's book. Still, in any case, the idea to store water in containers that used to hold oil, even ones that had been cleaned, should've been immediately rejected.
@@dandreer3150Navy ships didn’t have the space to store a huge amount of water only containers and tanks. Plus the Navy water purification systems often broke down. This is why engineers had to quickly find water sources and build facilities on the islands.
@@aaronmorrison7716 Then it's a huge oversight by the US military. What did they plan? Send troops and hope they defeat the enemy before they all die of thirst? 🙄
@@dandreer3150 “No plan survives first contact with the enemy” - Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke, 1871.
Doesn't matter how well thought out your plan is, something outside your control will happen and you will need to adjust as best you can.
Helmet for my pillow, excellent book.
GOD bless every marine - ever.
“This recruit’s thirsty, sir. He can’t go no moooorrrrreeeee”
If there is no water why are some still smoking?
go ask
Smoking is a big thing for soldiers, who really don't get to make decisions. In WW1 there's tons of accounts of soldiers smoking because it was an aspect of their lives they actually exercised control over, in an environment where everything around them, even their own movements and actions, were completely out of their control.
If I've got no water to drink, but I've got cigarettes to smoke, then I guess I'm smoking
Because that's what they did, lol. If you are on the brink of hell, smoke em if you got em.
Smoking unfiltered makes you salivate. Might help relieve dry mouth a little
My father fought in the Pacific world war II tells the story of his men being out of water and the officers were taking helmet baths he walked up there and asked them when they were expecting the water truck The officers ask him what he was talking about he told them my men don't have anything to drink and you're up here taking a bath The officer said you'll have water by the end of the day and a big water tank truck came in
My grandfather fought in the pacific and the USA gave him and his countrymen no recognition for their role.
Skipper, we need water. So true. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant
I didn't know Freddie Mercury was in this movie.
Hollywood couldn't make this look any more Hollywood.
Yea, after you watch war movies from other countries, you realize how dressed up the American ones are.
@@StreetDogStevei never realized that. do you have recommendations ?
How, this looks pretty realistic to me
I thought this was a horror film at fist cast that goat looks like a demon lol
Half of them didn’t make it across that airfield
When I was in the Korean military, something like this happened to me during the field training.
Since then, I always carried extra bottles of water in my bag (for me and my squad mates) even if it means heavier weight. Water is really important to soldiers.
Hell yea another series I need to watch thanks!🤗
Logistics wins wars
Whatever makes you feel better about yourself POG
Rami malek is so good in this series
No food or water but he still has smokes, oorah
Wild.. I am rewatching rn on Netflix. HBO does very well with these documentaries.
To bad nobody had a Grayl Geopress
If they had means to boil and maybe filter the water then they could drink it.
The Japanese were ruthless
No one can lie if we where out there we would be dead bit our older part got it right thank them
Good Question from soldier, tough experience.
You’d be a lot more hydrated if you weren’t such a heavy smoker
What kind of soldier smokes cigarettes when their life could end any second.. Smh...
This shows how artillery really does the most damage. It would suck if the enemy saw you operating the same artillery gun blowing their guys apart on the other side. Pretty sure you’d get shot
rami malek is one of the last people id expect to see in a war movie
That mountain goat is not native to the area.
Now i know why Capt Halden dont give your water. See what happen. He's dead
My dad was there. It's rough looking back!
Ram flavored water? Good to go!
Shot out ! Water from your eyesight
On the other side of that airfield, Japanese tankers were preparing to ride to glory for the emperor.
Rami Malek was in this?
I would refuse to move another inch until water and toliet paper are brought To the men
I thought it was a deathclaw head....😅
John Basilone badass!

The shit these guys had to go through is crazy idk how they made it

Gotta respect Imperial Japan tho, they fought and deceived all the way to the last man, literally….
No. They were just as bad as the nazis. Theyre quest for conquest caused the deaths of tens of millions of people
Bro respects rapists 😂
no, you don’t have to respect them, there were plenty of tough enemies with good honor codes that didn’t commit mass rape and sexual enslavement of korean and chinese women. unit 731 was doing worse shit than Mengele and then we just gave them a pass cause we made them hand over the research. imperial japan was fucking gross.
While also committing the most horrific war crimes known to man
always got a cig tho
We need water
Never take ur damn helmet off
The "no water" thing is a bit bogus. WW2 Marines would've known to dig a low depth well 20-25' away. The contaminated water would've filtered thru the soil into the well & be perfectly fine.
Julius Caesar chronicled in his war with the Gauls how his troops would disembark off ships from salt seas & immediately go inland short distances to dig wells. It works with brine water as well
Problem with modern folk is a lot of simple solutions like that are forgotten. Not that life was “better” then, our standard of living and quality of life is vastly superior. But sadly common simple survival knowledge is lost
"In addition to the tenacious Japanese defense, the Marines had to contend with temperatures ranging as high as 115 degrees and inadvertently scarce drinking water supplies, exacerbated by the reuse of fuel cans"
"An advance into the central Horseshoe Ridge area on 7 October with tank support cut Japanese access to their only fresh water source"
US Naval History and Heritage Command
it is not bogus whatsoever that Marines and Japanese on Peleliu had to contend with scarce supply of water. Your claim that water was easily accessible via wells and Marines had adequate water supply is bogus
they used contaminated oil and gas canisters to bring up water from well behind the front lines
@@THIS---GUY The contaminated cans & drums is well known. I still stand by what I wrote. A marine can easily dig down with a trenching tool & hit potable water fast in Pacific islands
@@dansemacabre6515 The fact they needed those canisters disproves your claim about "no water" being bogus.
if it was easy as you daydream to source water, the Marines wouldn't have had scarce supply for any considerable amount of time but they did and got dangerously low requiring emergency suppy run.
The water supply was scarce because of inability to source clean drinking water from anywhere on the front lines. This is 100% fact, not bogus as you claim.
It is corroborated in a ton of memoirs and letters as well as documents and witness accounts. They had no water.
The Japanese also had positions dug out and didn't have easily accessible water there either and were cut off from water during combat.
@@THIS---GUY Yet the very thing I talk about (digging a water hole) is in Army, Navy, & Air Force survival manuals. If marines in the Pacific were without water, then it would've had to have been the War Dept skimping on basic training. The only believable scenario on them not having access to potable water would be in mountain combat (like Iwo Jima). A majority of Pacific Island land mass is rarely far above the water table. BTW Bedouins only require 1 feet of desert sand to purify water.
Your free to disbelieve but this knowledge is a widely established fact & has been for thousands of years
Why do the ones without helmets look like theyve been piggy squeeled
They did actually poision the water in the real war
Italian troops at El alamein, north Africa, they didn't have water because brits poisoned all water springs etcc... One folgore paras did pay all his wage for a liter of water took from the engine cooler of a British destroyed tank... Water were transported in barrel that in the past contained gasoline, so the water tasted like gasoline...they did lack also food, ammo, medicine, toilet paper, spare parts etcc etcc...
Mr Robot?
Imagine what the japanese had...
I would say aye aye Skipper but guess what only other way to stop the Jeff artillery is Air attack hideout and send the freaking planes in stop worrying about the freaking death sentence Now call in an air strike then walk calmly across the airfield
Dificul batle
A cig is the stupidest thing you can intake when lacking water
Easy to say when you aren't potentially a second away from death at all times in a combat zone full of zealous warriors who would love nothing more than to snuff your flame out....
Yeah, no shit. You know cigarettes are addictive right?
Could have just filtered and boiled that water
Yeah I’m sure they have plenty of time to start a fire while getting shelled and shot at. Probably wouldn’t want to put a big beacon in the sky showing where you are either?
@@nicalite2989those shells being fired could easily create smoke and fires anyway, who cares? They definitely have time to just stand there and do nothing it seems.
Actually boiling doesn't remove all chemicals and most filters don't either. I assumed they meant the water was poisoned that's why the goat died and fell in. If they poisoned it with rotten goat then yea your right. They would have time to boil water if they only have a way. Back then alot of soldiers carried solid fuel tabs for exactly that reason
Damn, who would have guess - time to boil rotten meat to make it safe by your logic, you just solved world hunger
@@splaty2231theres a scene which might even be from this show. Where artillery guys are looking over a bunch of trees. And say there in there, just where? The Japanese had the same thing, a rough estimate. So if they saw smoke they'd probably hurl shells just for the chance of it being enemy's
Couldn't they boil the water?
It’s not river water.. i’m not knowledgeable but i don’t think just boiling the water would make it safe to drink.
K paso conchinpin ceńoritas k algien meesplike 😂 😂 😂
Did any of them consider to forage for coconuts or were they not able to?
I'm sure a lot of foraging went on. Coconuts aren't depicted in the show though
The Japanese sucked back then
Still do.. tojo’l never stop.
Multiple major aspects of Japan today will continue to suck for a long time.

I hate war. Fighting for peace is like f****** for virginity
They're all sexy
This is gonna sound dumb but why couldn’t they just boil the fuck outta that water?
Rrraaammiii!!!
You'd have thought Allied High Command would be smart enough to provide logistics for the Marines.
Failing that, maybe send them reinforcements and have them return to the fleet so they could rest and restock their water, ammo, and rations before heading back out.
You want logistics? Join the Army.
Try staging an amphibious assault in the face of intense opposition, thousands of miles from your main land base, and then come back and tell us how easy it is.
Logistics POGs barely count as Marines or Soldiers in my book, you can't really count on them to give a shit about the grunts when they will never get anywhere near combat. Might as well be glorified civilians.
I really do think war is fucking hell and i think that's why some people love it so much

Couldn't they filter and boil the water?
Hard to do in the middle of combat.
@@viathan5637 they weren't exactly in combat at the time
Even if they could, I feel like many wouldn’t out of dignity. It could be the purest damn water in the world, but knowing it came out of some shithole with a giant, decaying animal carcass swimming in it would leave me hesitant to drink it.
@@ClarinetEnthusiast i mean.. tap water comes from a literal shithole
@@ClarinetEnthusiast I think if you’re thirsty enough you’ll drink it. And boiling it would make it safe but not improve the taste. A jar of Tang would sure help though. 😜

The water isn't poisonous. Boiled it's fine.
Yes it is.
the problem is you dont have the resources or time to boil it right then and there.
That's still not a good idea. Some stuff might not get killed by boiling and you'd get sick. Getting sick is just making your problems worse at that point.
Look up pyrogens
"Poisoned" is not as accurate a word as "fouled," but it still does you little good if you don't have the time or the means to properly boil it. Tainting the enemy's water supply is an old, old tactic.
Still smoking with no water. Hard mofos 👀
Imaging the young generation now doing this 😂
Imagine your generation doing this
Why the goat head? Can someone explain
Rotting carcass poisons water
bottle water
Could they not just have gone into the water and wet their bodies? The poison do not work on the skin, or does it?
They need water to drink, not to wash. Plus I don’t think they’d like to take a bath in dead goat water
Parasites.
