That's absurd. If that were the case that friendly corner traffic cop would have morphed into a body-armor-wearing monster in a black uniform using heavy infantry weapons and riding armored vehicles by now. And we know that's not...oh, wait.
That was good! LOL!
I think we need a good Matt Bracken meme about now.
