This is from truth or fictions website. I just caught this one a little while ago. Take it for what it is worth. Can anyone here verify that this is actually a signal that soldiers are trained to give in said situations?

I believe it. Its gotta be true. Who would want to shake her nasty hand voluntarily anyway?

I hope it's true. Either way it's a great story.

Yea, I trust both of these web sites and their info, but I was hoping a soldier would ring in on this one and tell us about how they are trained to do this and what other signals they might use.

Just a thought from a soldier, I can tell you that i have NOT gone under any survival training that one from the 82nd Airborne might, but just some food for thought. Do you really want someone to know what these signs are? i know you're curious, but it's probably not something most the trained soldiers are going to just throw out on the world wide web.
