"As early as March or April, 18 units of the Talon -- a model armed with automatic weapons -- are scheduled to report for duty in Iraq."

We'll see if they can get through basic.

I'd like to see the dirtbag's faces if they capture one and can't figure out how to cut it's head off.

What I care about the most is, that they keep my Warriors out of harms way as much as possible. Pray for our Prez and our Warriors..........

I work in the business of unmanned ground vehicles. I can assure you that many really smart people are busting their ba!!s to do (troops out of harm's way) just that.

Semper Fi,

I am an AF Reserve Medic that deploys as (much as they will let me) and we are responsible for the Air Mobility Command of moving the Wounded Warriors in the air and on the ground. I just love these guys and I have seen so many injuries. So I am for anything that will bring me less wounded. I have a big place in my heart for the Marines......they are a close knit group.

We need some of those robots like the one in Robocop 2 that went crazy and shot all the people in the board room. Just let a few go nuts in the Sunni triangle for a while.
