Wired News: Say Hello to the Goodbye Weapon
I’m ex US military, the US Army to be exact, in a land before time (or 17 years depending on your perspective). I’m all for giving the men in the field all the tools they need to get the job done safely. I read this article at Wired News: Say Hello to the Goodbye Weapon and all I can do is the of the unforeseen dangers that might arise out of the need to remain dominant in the battlefield. This will come back to haunt us all. In the article it was written that "If used properly, ADS will produce no lasting adverse affects, the military argues." First "if used properly" would almost never be the case in a crisis situation and "no lasting effect" a military argument, sounds like an oxymoron. Next is another quote from the article "most of the radiation (83 percent) is instantly absorbed by the top layer of the skin, heating it rapidly." where does the rest go?
