The trick will be figuring out how to make the nukes just destructive enough so that they vaporize your enemy without vaporizing you.

[...] Actually, this get-up recalls a different sci-fi classic, doesn’t it? No matter. We’re taking the best elements of each and building the ultimate bad-ass robo-soldier. Next up: The shoulder-mounted laser cannon. [...]

Great picture of Hillary, was that from Rueters or AP?

Funny how we can work on this… but not give our Soldiers a decent rifle with reasonable stopping power…

God… I always hated the M-16… even with the extra weight I MUCH prefered the M-14…

They have reappeared. I knew things were not kosher when leaving on a patrol, all I had was a 9mm and an M-4 and the NCOIC looks down at my pistol and says “well, you’ve got the biggest stopping power with you…” Urk.
Everyone was scaring up M-14s, MK-19s, you name it.

Yeah, “Dogfights” is awesome, along with “Mail Call” but don’t forget “Shootout”!

Profitsbeard, good call, “Lone Survivor” is a MUST read!

Oh – and Chuck Norris, too. Obviously they wouldn’t harm him.

Professor Blather on June 21, 2007 at 11:56 AM

Agreed. This is so 1980′s. Chuck Norris has been impervious to all incoming munitions while striking with major fury and RhK’s since the Reagan era.

It sounds like a computerized material that mimicks the environment… esentially flexible, ‘intelligent’, scene-adapting camouflage. Better than what exists, but it won’t be anything especially advantageous in the kind of fighting going on in Iraq (street to street, house to house).

Good for snipers, stealthy observation teams, etc.

(Check out the book of U.S. soldier’s story “ Lone Survivor“, which shows that we need realistic rules of engagement more than glitzy hi-tech gimmicks.)

Indeed. Regardless of the source, the picture coonfirms my long-held suspicions about Hillbillary. It’s the shrill, alien voice that gives her away though. I’d rather listen to fingernails drawn across the blackboard.

I just re-watched Alien vs. Predator a few weeks ago.

I think we should develop both.

That isn't her face. This is what happens when you have a snuke in a sniz. Maybe that's why Clenis is always philandering? Snap, snap, snap!

Any post that allows AllahP to run a picture of either the Predator or the Alien is OK by me.

Enough with the Rosie stories already!

The trick will be figuring out how to make them destructive enough that you can’t survive the blast simply by running 100 yards and diving under a bush

Then we could get some for the border patrol.

Oh, yeah. The F-15′s rocked. My favorite is the one on Robin Olds. A true bad-ass.
