Silver Bullets

A text only post, and about history, afield from fauna and flora, sort of...and grim, so dear readers, a caution to read on...

quote

Silver bullets also act as a calling card for The Lone Ranger in his adventures. The masked man decided to use bullets forged from the precious metal as a symbol of justice, law and order, and to remind himself and others that life, like silver, has value and is not to be wasted or thrown away.

I like Johnny Depp in that recent movie of The Lone Ranger...did a post a (even saw movie..."sometime good men wear mask")...but apparently the critics think it not one of his best performances...anyway...

Insomuch as I have been going on about werewolves and vampires and biting, and going on about how vampires and werewolves becoming a metaphor for the back and forth of warfare, snarling and biting and scratching and such, I find myself bemused every time  I see the writeabouts go on about silver bullets!

Some searches and what they brought up from the benthic...

silver bullet Guatemala

The introduction of this new technological solution is unlikely to be a silver bullet that eradicates Guatemala’s extortion problem.

(I thought to do this search because of the sad story of the boy who refused to bend to a gang's demands and was tossed from a bridge, which is here:

silver bullet boots on the ground

Fire retardant paints landscape red, no silver bullet...

You always have to follow up with boots on the ground,” Lund said. “It doesn’t put the fire out. If you don’t follow it up, and just drop retardant, that is when it is not effective.”

"The president is fond of the truism that there is no military solution to ISIL or any other problem," he said. "What he has so often failed to realize is that there is sometimes a major military dimension to achieving a political solution."
That would require a reversal of Obama's promises not to put "boots on the ground" in the fight, but the move wasn't completely ruled out by Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey.
But Dempsey emphasized that while additional American military power might produce some short-term success, "the silver bullet is to get the Iraqis to fight."
