Bagpipe have been played during war for over 500 years. All Scottish and Irish regiments (in the service of the British army) have had bagpipers as part of the unit. Those opponents facing Scottish and Irish regiments who have never heard Bagpipes before, generally reacted with surprise upon hearing the music for the first time. Warring clans were led into battle inspired by pipers playing a battle tune. There was a piper on the beaches during the Normandy landings in June 1944..... Napoleon said he would not trust Marshal MacDonald, French of Scottish descent, within their sound. That Piper was Bill Millin of the 1st Special Service Brigade, who lead the troops ashore on Sword Beach.

The nastiest weapon used in the Viet War and by far the most feared weapon by the communist forces was the B52. The enemy could run or take cover from any weapon in the US arsenal; but not the B52. Arc Light missions were almost always conducted as a surprise to the enemy...there were hardly ever any previous warnings of an Arc Light mission; then when they came, they hit with monumental devastation.
