Never heard of kick in teeth or mouth
I'm not sure why one would even do it. If a body is going to be left to decompose, why would one want to reach inside a mouth of a decomposing body to recover a dog tag from what's left of the soft pallet? It's much easier to take off the neck chain, or from a boot. Were they afraid the enemy would steal it"?
Never heard of it actually being done. It seems if the objective is to hide it in the mouth, why not just put it in there? I see no need of kicking a jaw shut to force it up the soft palate, and if they are talking about the hard palate, forget it, that piece of tin is not going to break through the bone.
