The POLICE need "non-lethal capabilities".

The Army, if it is being used for its intended purpose, does not.

I'm sure some will disagree, but that is my opinion.

We could certainly use the PR boost in countries that hate us.

U.S. soldiers are trained to use non-lethal force as much as possible.

The Military is there to fight terrorists and enemy armies. Aren't non-lethal weapons a bit off-mark here?

I hope The One's "civilian national security force" gets those rubber pellet shot shells. Meanwhile, I'm all in with 9 pellet 00 buck.

I wouldn't worry...if obama has his way with the "gays in the military" our soldiers will just be hitting the enemy with their purses.

Of course, the enemy forces will love it...non lethat...hot damn!

It'll be like "playing army" when we were kids...we'd get shot, and then jump up and say, "Now I'm another guy!"...and keep on play-fighting.

By the time obama gets done with the military, the U.N. forces will be able to whip us....

“The more capabilities we give the soldiers to operate in the non-lethal realm, the less likely they’re going to have to resort to lethal force,”

If you don't need lethal force, you shouldn't be pestering the military. Geez...
