So...if I am a Special Forces guy with a high value target in a house, I can phone in GPS coordinates and get an artillery strike instead of waiting for an aircraft to arrive on station?

Yep, the Navy has a 5" rocket assisted munition with 90 mile range and GPS terminal guidance. Just call in the coordinates and sit back and wait for a HE express delivery. Ain't technology great?

Regards,
GtG

That seems like it would provide our men with great flexibility in finding a way to send those murdering bastards straight to their 72 virgins in hell.

I like the sound of that.

actually, it is much better than that - we have a "point-and-click" interface.
