Just read this, via Cursor, in an encomium for a fallen marine in the Los Angeles Times:


>The insurgents, having learned from earlier fights with the Marines,
>were no longer fighting in the streets. Instead, they waited inside
>homes, ready to spray bullets as Marines pushed through a door or entryway.
>
>Some had injected themselves with lidocaine, Novocain or adrenaline,
>allowing them to fight even after receiving mortal wounds, a
>spectacle the Marines called the "Night of the Living Dead."
