Put simply, the Land Warrior gear is a wearable computer/GPS/radio combination, plus improvements in body armor and uniform design.

Great stuff. But what I'd like to know is what happened to the good old fashioned flame thrower and napalm? Did these weapons suddenly become obsolete when we started fighting politically correct wars?

"Did these weapons suddenly become obsolete when we started fighting politically correct wars?"

I believe so. Napalm was done in by the combined efforts of the MSM and the Hard Left during the Vietnam War. I believe it was manufactured by Dow Chemical and the Left launched a major PR attack on Dow in the US, aided by TV images of people burning.
