SMART GRENADE LAUNCHER:

"A shoulder-fired XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement (CDTE) System is tested at Aberdeen Test Center, Md. It features an array of sights, sensors and lasers housed in a target acquisition fire control unit on top, an oversized magazine behind the trigger mechanism, and a short barrel wrapped by a recoil dampening sleeve."

Watching a special on the Maginot Line and how advanced that was.. or "was it ?" goes the show.

Also how the Germans were using modern weapons (tanks, aircraft, etc that France had ignored and France ran a P.R. program and convinced the French of how secure the line made them.

Hope we never get like the French... but also running is a Mail Call on the LAV. And although the don't point it out, there is an LAV driving toward the camera and the sun is flashing off the goggles of the driver who has his head out the door and above the level of the armor!

Sheesh, stupid nice target for a sniper or the enemy forces with an anti armor rocket!

Maybe despite of our advances we could end up like the French. All our advanced stuff ending up just stops on a tourist site.
