OK, so this thing is pretty cool.

But I like my solution to the RPG 'problem' in Iraq. Anybody caught with an RPG should be subject to a drum head courts martial and executed as a terrorist.

I have a feeling that RPG attacks would drop dramatically after a few well publicized hangings.

"We're not fighting the Waffen-SS here," Zinni said on NBC's "Meet the Press" in criticizing Rumsfeld's planning and conduct of the Iraq War. "You know, we're fighting a bunch of ragtag people with AK-47s and IEDs and RPGs."

Marine Corp General Zinni thinks he can do better than Rummy. Maybe he should be SecDef for Hillary.

We already have FCLAS under testing, and I hope it to be used in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I remember being in here a few years back and we were bragging on the 2nd amendment. Liberals were saying the Army was impervious to attacks by people armed with small arms, That our puny weapons wouldnt be worth squat against the military. Well we are seing what a ragtag bunch of armed people can do . We will not win in Iraq until the Iraqui's want peace bad enough to take their country back from this ragtag Army and fight for that peace themselves.

This pi$$es me off ...

"Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has been criticized for the vulnerability of U.S. forces to cheap, low-tech RPGs and simply made remote-control roadside bombs called "improvised explosive devices" or IEDs.

The fast-moving technological innovation of Trophy and Project Sheriff comes at a time when Rumsfeld is under more criticism. He has come under fire from some, including retired Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni, who on Sunday called for Rumsfeld to be replaced and specifically mentioned U.S. problems in dealing with basic weaponry like shoulder-fired RPGs. "


OH, and I wanna meet the guy who can ACCURATELY fire an RPG from 500 yds. Perhaps as an area weapon, but certainly not as a point weapon. Please ... Even a deuce and a half would be tiny in the iron sights of an RPG at 500 yds.

The final version of this defensive system should include the capability to "backtrack" the missile path to the point of launch and lob a mortar in that direction.
