This weapon should be among the most closely held secrets within the Army.

"SHOULD" is the operative word in your post.

Shoot. With "patriots" like the Clintons around, the Chinese probably already have the specs on the thing.

I understand there are some new generation Javelins for the near future with greater range, mobility, and lethality.

Coupled with the inter-operability that spec ops and the air force now have, this kind of lethality for the individual soldier just really makes me wonder how light the ground forces can go.

Those pictures of the spec ops guys on horseback might be the wave of the future. Vehicles will be a sure kill because of their heat signature. Imagine again a steeded warrior carrying a JAVELIN!
