Let's hope they strap GPS broadcasters to themselves to help us with targeting.

Let's give them special "laser pointers" to mark the sites we're supposed to avoid...

Reminds me of a story about an agent team dropped into North Vietnam during the war. They were almost immediately captured and turned by the North Vietnamese.

SOG knew that they were in the hands of North Vietnamese intelligence, but couldn't of course, let on that they knew it.

The compromised team was contacted and told that they would be resupplied in the field by an F-4 Phantom. As cover, they were told, the supply canisters that would be dropped on the team's location would be disguised as 500lb bombs.

I'll bet you've already guessed how *that* story ended.
