Too late for Emperor Montezuma, who famously said, "Will someone tell those dang Marines to stop singing in the halls!"

Great benefits to equipping all our military units with suppressors - one not mentioned was protecting the hearing of the men and women pulling the triggers.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

I thought that submarines were the "silent service." 
God and the soldier we adore,
In times of danger, not before.
The danger gone, the trouble righted,
God's forgotten, the soldier slighted.
