A game-changer?

The United States has developed an awesome new weapon for killing high-value targets without causing extensive collateral damage, and it has already proven itself in at least five countries.

The missile, which is dubbed the R9X “Flying Ginsu,” is a non-explosive missile which kills the enemy target with kinetic energy and six blades.

The missile was developed “for the express purpose of reducing civilian casualties,” and is known for pinpoint accuracy.

According to Business Insider, the R9X has seen successful action in Libya, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, and Yemen, with one notable kill being the USS Cole bombing mastermind, Jamal al-Badawi.

The missile resembles an AGM-114 Hellfire, and represents the USA’s commitment to reducing unnecessary civilian casualties.

I'll bet it can cut through a nail, a tin can, and a radiator hose, and still slice a tomato paper thin!

And of course... “But wait! There's more!”

We do yard work for an elderly lady in our neighborhood.

A couple of weeks ago, we found one of the original Ginsu knives buried in the sand in her back yard. No telling how long it had been there, probably ten years or longer.

Aside from a few specs of rust on the blade, it WAS STILL SHARP! We used it to cut vines away from her fence!...........................

Precision munitions are fine for certain applications, however large scale destruction such as indiscriminate carpet bombing has the added benefit of neutralizing those who would work in the armament factories and are traditionally considered ‘non-combatants’ but really contribute to the war effort. There is still nothing like a squadron of B-52's with a bays full of dumb bombs to take the war to the enemy and make an impression.
