The famed WW2 Coast Watchers in the Pacific werent screaming into their 
carbon mikes with the Japs often within pissing distance.

In modern times the Special Forces and CIA arent using voice when 
communicating from raghead land where sound travels long distances, they use 
silent keyboards.     Voice is used when the choppers and fighter/bombers 
are already close to targets and the ragheads are being sent to Allah in 
bloody pieces.

Voice is also used when the AC-131 is doing its thing, CW is too slow then.
