Tom Clancy wrote a book about 15-30 years ago about when Clark lit up some bad guys

That book was "Debt of Honor". Clark and Ding use the light cannon on a Somali warlord and his henchmen, some Yakuza-types holding a politician prisoner, and then use it to crash two AWACS aircraft on landing. It did not cause permanent blindness.

Tom Clancy claims that this gadget is real and that he actually saw it demonstrated.

Thank you. Thank you. I'm series. I have so many Clancey novels, I get confused which are which. I think I will read Debt of Honor again. Yes, Ding was Ding Chavez? Ahhh. I think the brain cells are on resuscitation mode.I've always known that there is so much depth and breath of knowledge and talent on FR.
