I have heard reports that the Marines have actually done an end around the normal procurement supply chain to deploy some weapons and systems that they feel they need immediately. If I remember correctly, it had something to do with a directed energy weapon of some sort. Have you heard the same?

That was actually the Army. The system was sent to Iraq for evaluation. The results weren't good. Not ready for prime time. Maybe in another time and in another Galaxy, that solution will be ready. Just not now.
