Air Force Secretary Muhammed Wynne:
"If we're not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens,
then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation.
We have just taken out three US cities to test our new nukes."

"Use the term "non-lethal" only if we're convinced that they are."
Yeah..I think the disclaimer is "less-lethal".
To: rightgrafix
Apparently this idiot thinks the police forces aren't militarized enough. Does she know the difference between "to serve and protect" and "to kill and destroy?"

Let me see if I have this straight... we should test weapons intended to be non-lethal on American citizens, for the purpose of determining whether or not they are, in fact, non-lethal. As opposed to testing them on, say, Al Qaeda fighters in Iraq, whom we would be otherwise killing anyway?
WTF?!

Agreed. This guy should be the first tester.
To: rightgrafix
So this jackboot would rather test them on his fellow citizens than the Islamofacists overseas...very telling.

Would someone PLEASE run some tests on the DC water supply and find out once and for all what it is that scrambles the brains of our "leadership"?

Yeah..I think the disclaimer is "less-lethal". I do want to be clear:
I have no problem with having two categories of weapons -- "Weapons we use domestically" and "Weapons we use in foreign countries". I just have a problem if we pretend that we can wage a non-lethal, bloodless war with our advanced weapons, which -- by the way -- are too horrific to use in our country.
To me, that shows dangerously muddled thinking. We lose our wars because we screw up the political aspects of war. This is a potential example of how we get things wrong.

Let's mount them on poles in all high-crime areas and activate the devices during the high-crime hours. Yeah, there's a good idea.
P.S. sarcasm....

"If we're not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens, then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation" OK, let's apply that same thinking to bunker-busers, nuclear weapons, etc... what a moron !!!!

They use these on Americans and the lawsuits will fly. Really, really dumb idea.

I think that I would be vilified in the world press. If it's good enough for our citizens its good enough for the enemy. The age of the PC War's, where the strong can never be allowed to win and the weak are left able to fight on forever using all means available.
