You've GOT to be kidding me

Congrats to ABC news they found the dozen or so people in the military who are going to vote for Obama or Clinton.

Pa-lease!

I can't wait to see the post election results and see how the military voted. I can't imagine that it will be ANYTHING other than a landslide for McCain.

One of the talk show hosts pointed out the speech that McCain gave yesterday. He started it off by saying, "My fellow veterans..." He's the only candidate right now who can say that.

Nice, very nice, can I get one of these on my car?

I've been reading about this one for a while, but just in case you haven't seen it, here it is. No, that's not an old satellite dish on top of the Humvee, it's the ultimate in crowd control. The modern day version of boiling oil to disperse a crowd. Although if you are in the beam of this one you can't just hide behind your shield. It gives you the sensation of burning at a scalding 130 degrees. I know that doesn't seem like much to those of you who have had the good fortune of living in PHX in summertime and had a car with... vinyl seats (I think I still have scars), but it is effective.

Nice.

Bad guys are going down.

Man, there is just too much blog material this morning. Cool stuff.

Michael Yon is an independent (in thought and finances) reporter in Iraq. He has been covering this war from the ground, with the troops for years now. Some of his stories are just heart breaking, while others are absolutely inspiring.

His latest post is very encouraging. Gen Petraeus is doing an amazing job that a year ago, no one thought could be done.

GREAT STUFF!!!!

Now you see it. Now you don't. Nice Tank.

This is crazy. I know it's still pretty primative, but it's the future coming at you and you won't be able to see it. This is out of the box thinking at it's finest. I heard about this concept years ago and had assumed that they had abandoned it because they just couldn't work out the logistics. Basically there are cameras that take continuous real time footage of whatever is on the other side of the tank and then project that image onto the outside of the tank. Crazy. The genious part is getting it to actually work!

I guess that's not an issue any more. Or at least the issues are getting smaller. I REALLY like the concept of troop body suits that do the same thing. Good stuff!
