I know there is a love/hate relation with Larry Klayman, but he does some good work.

This is simply nuts!!

Obama deserves all the ridicule he gets!

Raise your hand if you’re the least bit surprised.

Waiting.

Still waiting.

Nope, didn’t think so.

Yes, but I didn’t realize Klayman left JW in 2003 as posted above.

Do I need to clean off my glasses? Is this real? Just when I think I understand what Obama’s motives are, he does the opposite. The Poles and the Egyptians and the Syrians and the Lybians are telling the Ukrainians, “We warned you! Don’t expect any help from this Amercian President NONE! He is different. Whatever he says, prepare for the opposite. We told you!”
It’s beginning to look a lot like Vichy!

MILES gear is old, old stuff, and it’s capability depends a lot on which part of the system is used...rifle adapters, planes, tanks...

The basic stuf is a harness with laser sensors on it, along with a a blank adapter (a screw-on barrel plug to block the gas from escaping down the barrel), and a little doohickey that triggers a low power IR beam when the membrane vibrates from a loud noise...or light tapping with your fingernail.

When the firearm is fired, the doohickey emits the laser beam. If the beam hits the sensor it sets off an alarm indicating the target is dead. Near hits will result in a single chirp. It is very much like laser tag, but allows soldiers to use their normal weapons while they train.

Someone brought that to my attention as well, just a couple of days ago.

Yep, it is old. I believe my son used it in the late 80’s early 90’s but we should burn it before we give it the Ruskies. :-)

Too many excuses here with information from imaginations. MILES gear is very expensive. And yes, it makes a big difference against our nation. It was wrong to give it to the Russians.

It corrects some serious mistakes commonly made by trainees and common tactical errors made by leaders. Problem is, daydreaming bureaucrats and their trader constituents probably also gave some of our more important fire-and-maneuver training information to untrustworthy nations.

Amen, we shouldn’t be giving them anything connected to military.

How much of a traitor does Obama have to be before Congress impeaches him & prosecutes him for treason?

Note that the agency supplying MILES is the NNSA (National Nuclear Security Administration). The MILES gear is undoubtedly provided in sufficient numbers to enable training for nuclear weapons security forces. That won’t provide much capability for the Russian Army to be sure, and the Russian Army certainly won’t be uses their MILES lasers to overwhelm the Ukrainians. Hardly a scandal.

They are the enemy, period. Giving them 1 penny is a scandal.

Well, yeah. But that applies to laser tag as well.
