Well it looks like the military has some new non-lethal tools in which to utilize in Iraq. Well all the insurgants should be scared when marines start using Long Range Acoustic Devices, Lazzer Dazzlers, or Active Denial Tecnology against them. Wondering what the hell they do? Well the first uses an "annoying" sound to persuade people to leave, the second attempts to find lasers from a sniper, and the last microwaves 1/64" under the skin. I really do hope these help our soldiers, but could we not come up with better names? Don't we have crack marketing teams to help give our soldiers a little pride in their tools they use in addition to guns and missiles (which we can always rename to Active Life Suppressors). On a side note, I hope they can do a better job to conceal their DirecTV satelite dish, that will certainly be a giveaway to terrorists to use ear plugs and don some lead suits.

In other military related news, Britain will shortly launch the HMS Daring which along with carrying lots of firepower, also will feature Ipod plugins, internet access, and 5.1 surround sound in their hotel facilities (aka Living Quarters). Well, I am shocked that this is how the British military has to recruit for their navy makes me wonder if these amenities are popping up in their American counterparts (in addition to Active Denial Technology).
