Eventually everything in life dovetails. Toward the end of my government career I actually met some of the guys who did the story-lines behind the comics. They were doing scripts for CDs ~ and not just for tracked vehicles, but for atomic submarines.

Then there were the guys developing the portable PC for field combat use ~

All of these people were highly motivated, patriotic beyond doubt, and truly concerned for the welfare of the troops who were going to follow their directions or use their software.

The best of folks.

I’m quite familiar with those mini-TANKS. I had to lug them around for years, LOL! Prior to those, we actually used mimeograph machines in the field, and manual typewriters. We thought we were really living high on the hog when we got those cool IBM Selectric typewriters with the changeable font-balls. And somehow, we managed. I thought I had died and gone to Heaven the day I was issued my first “laptop”...which also weighed as much as a cinder block, LOL!

I am kind of jealous of all the cool toys they get to play with now, though. The most “advanced” technology I trained on were those electronic combat suits where you’d shoot lasers at one another. When you were hit, the most obnoxious beeping would go off until a Medic found you and used his/her “key” on you to shut you off, LOL!

Now, a gunner can pretty much sit in the comfort of another COUNTRY (or out in the middle of the ocean) and conduct ‘business’ from there. Peace through superior firepower works for me. :)
