The US military learns from its wars and gets better and better all the time.

Niven had some stories in which space ships defeated laser weapons by projecting mirror finishes, which then reflected the laser beam back to its source.

I have a question for those FReepers who know about the AC130 Specter.

How does this laser compair with the Howitzer?

How replacing the arty shells with batteries change the mission ?

"... Next year we will start issuing phrasers and light sabers to the troops."

Then we can issue plain robes instead of body armor.

I'd be in favor of relaxing grooming restrictions so Marines could have beards and pony-tails.

Umm, I really don't think lightsabers would be very practical. I can just see the training accidents... "hey ya'll watch this... SLICE! ... ooowwie.. "

US is developing a gunship that could literally obliterate enemy ground targets with a laser beam.

Probably manufactured in China.
