Just learned Battle of Solomon Creek Us Calvary vs Chyenne Indians Chyennes wore ghost shirts to protect them against bullets from US rifles The Officer in charge ordered a dismounted attck with sabers only (I don't know why) The Chyenne panicked since the shirts were not meant to protect them from swords and fled |

In Colombia , South America, Mafia train young men to become hitmen. As strong Catholic believers, they have a ritual in which they go to church and prey to "our lady of the assasins" to bless their bullets, for protection against enemies, and that the "victims" have instant death. Also the drink up wine mix with powder from a bullet, before doin their job. |
One would be the Simba rebellion in the Congo, mid 60s I believe. It was put down by Mad Mike Hoare's mercenaries and Belgian Para-commandos. |
Sicario? I lived on the frontier between Venezuela and Colombia for a while and heard of youth assasins called "Sicario" or something similar. |
