How do they plan on de-mobilizing soldiers so equipped? Is there a plan to remove these implants post enlistment? Brain surgery on mustering out? Are the chips self-destructing on honorable discharge (or do they "discharge" on their own ala Mission Impossible briefing tapes when no longer required?)

[Swordmaker]

The shape of military equipment to come -- implantable neural interfaced soldiers and military computer systems. Be afraid, be very afraid. -- PING!

IMPLANTS?!? Not Windows, not any OS, but all computers and droids alert ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

I figure a number of us Windows folks are interested in this sort of stuff...

Thanks to Swordmaker for the ping!!

I hate to be a pessimist, but this could turn out really bad.

Like other technologies, this can be a double edged sword. There is the potential for tremendous good that can come out of this.
But knowing the criminals in government, there will be a push to figure out how to make this technology control people. I propose that those making the mere suggestion of pushing the technology that way be subject immediately to the punishments suitable for a capital offense.
