Horse $hit. What do you think you're defending? If it's "the land of the free," it won't be when you come home "victorious," only to see the nation you fought to "liberate" go right back to where it was before you started. A military strategy alone won't defeat Islam.
Infantry tactics are the same no matter where you go or who you fight.
If this weapon works, not any more. Tactics changed with the stirrup. Tactics changed with the cannon. Tactics changed with air power. Tactics change.
All you can see is some SWAT clown killing children with it. Fine.
Of the 450 no knock raids in New York City over the 1990s, PER MONTH, 10% were to the wrong address. Nor has the City owned the full liability for those false raids in a single case. Most often, they don't even pay to fix the front door. Meanwhile, a police sergeant in San Jose drags down $250K and expects a 40-year retirement at 90% salary for all the "risks" he takes. Meanwhile, patrolmen are demanding backup to hand out a traffic ticket.
I see the engagements my Soldiers and I were in in Iraq and how incredibly useful this weapon would have been, and I’m very glad our guys will now have it to hopefully eliminate that most basic tenet of squat combat for the enemy.
The Islamic enemy has sponsors, without whom he'd be back to buggering camels. That sponsor is my enemy. You don't get it, because you don't understand who empowers your enemy, who just so happens to be the same claque that empowers the almighty "security" state. That's the same state that put you up to fighting abroad, thinking that killing a few hundred thousand terrorists was going to do anything about substantively changing a billion Muslims.
But, please, don’t let me keep you from fretting in the dark all by yourself. It seems to make you happy.
It's all about you. The war is all about you. Your hollow "victory" is all about you. How many Islamic terrorists within US borders has the WOT killed? Or are they still pouring in over the borders? Did your budding police state stop the DC sniper or was it a citizen? How about Tsarnaiev? Did those house to house searches work, or was it a citizen who found the perp? You blather about killing the enemy, yet police and military have killed more innocents within US borders than they have terrorists. Oh, you don't remember Waco? Would they have tried what they did if they didn't have helicopters, tanks, and incendiary grenades?
Yeah, put the "professionals" in charge! A "security" system designed by lawyers and bureaucrats! Uh, whom are they working for? They don't know what they're doing any more than you do.
After trillions spent on national defense, how many planes did they bring down on 9-11? The unorganized militia took down the only one: Flight 93. If CCW holders on airlines were deputized, I promise you, there would never be another successful high-jacking. Problem solved, for free, and with no unionized claque of welfare cases frisking every traveler.
You have no concept for how you've been used. All you want is better weapons; you can't be responsible for how they used against citizens and don't care.
I see. You clearly do not.
Are you in CO? What are you smoking and how much? I’m very glad for a new infantry weapon that makes my guys and guys like me safer on the battlefield, so that means that I’m a supporter of the police state?
You’re nuts, dude. Seek help.
