Some are truly awe inspiring, and some are just funny unintentionally. Military naming conventions can do that. They developed a frisbee with a bomb in it. What did they call it? The "Modular Disc-Wing Urban Cruise Munition."

Should lasers really be strapped to planes?
No. They should be built in, not strapped on. They should be an integral part of the planes target acquisition and weapons system, not a jury-rigged add-on.

And our lasers should be better than their lasers, always.

arsenal of weapons to make mutually assured destruction seem tame.

My instant thought was of Obama and Hillary. Mutually assured destruction.

I think the spookiest ones are those damned robotic bugs.

How would you like to be the researcher working on the stink bomb? Blarf!

I don’t see how the robotic moths would be that effective as surveillance tools. Judging by the erratic way that moths fly, it seems like you’d need some industrial-strength image stabilization technology on that thing. And even then, despite the fact that you can “steer” the moth, it seems like the images would be pretty random.

The rods from God look cool, but I sure hope they have a good way to vaporize it in space if the satellite had a problem and started losing its orbit or something. Yikes.

I truly believe that “Dancing with the Stars” is the most terrifying and repulsive Psy-Ops package ever invented. It is lower even then “Doogie Howser, M.D.” and that’s saying a lot! I’m glad my TV died two years ago!

Absolutely not. You "strap" lasers to sharks, or at the very least, ill-tempered Chilean Sea Bass.
