For reference:

US Miitary used AC/DC in neighborhood operations in Iraq.  From Boots on the Ground, (Clint Wills, ed), p. 277 (left).

US Military Interrogators also blast AC/DC, Eminem, Metallica to 'break' prisoners in interrogation sessions at Guantanamo and elsewhere.  And music fused with combat missions, "Top 10 Songs for Combat."
