Yes, but I am not talking about putting this in the hands of the army but the hands of the people under attack. The army does not let its hi tech stuff get in the hands of the man in the street.

It also has political winds that sometimes shift to where they might want to ignore crossings in some areas. The army guys in the field are trying to do a good job, but the ones above often do not supply what is needed to accomplish that.

If a homeowner with an exposed backyard could be warned when someone was crossing no-mans land toward his house 100 yards away and just turned on the lights out back, that in most cases would stop an attack dead in its tracks.

Exciting stuff.

Sounds like here.

The average house near the border is surrounded by 8-foot chainlink fence topped with barbed wire or concertina. Entire yard covered by floodlights and a pack of large dogs.

Even the kids carry guns.
