Most Americans are familiar with nuclear weapons; it is not necessary for the news to constantly explain what a nuclear weapon is or its dangers.
But there is another type of weapon that might be even more of a threat than nuclear weapons, which is unfortunately less known about, and, due to comedic representations of the technologies in movies and the tabloidization and general untrustworthiness of mainstream media, is going to require a significant effort to educate others about.
The type of technology is sometimes described as “Directed Energy,” “Directed Energy Weapons,” and “Directed Energy Systems.” It is worth providing multiple descriptions of Directed Energy and the weapons and systems which use directed energy. Directed energy (DE) is an
umbrella term covering technologies that produce a beam of concentrated electromagnetic energy or atomic or subatomic particles. A DE weapon is a system using DE primarily as a direct means to disable, damage or destroy adversary equipment, facilities, and personnel. DE warfare is military action involving the use of DE weapons, devices, and countermeasures to either cause direct damage or destruction of adversary equipment, facilities, and personnel, or to determine, exploit, reduce, or prevent hostile use of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) through damage, destruction, and disruption.

Most believe their “gubmits” about anything.
Whether it’s about a disease you need an injection to prevent infection (even though we all know it won’t prevent it) or that it’s the cool thing to lop off your child’s genitalia in favor of the new fad.

Sure, if an airliner shortly after takeoff with full fuel tanks is a DEW.

Women, children, minorities, and red shirts most at risk.

Lasers are cool and all, but power falls off as distance increases and the beam disperses. Add weather to that and it’s pretty useless. Microwave weapons will fall under the same constraints I would think.
