#1 Well done indeed, weapons design teams! And some of them look to very nicely remove a good deal of the terrorists' assymetrical warfare advantage, yes?

#2 I'm always amazed at what comes out of the crucible of combat. And who knows what non-military applications will eventually come out of some of this tech?

#3 Using a freeze dried substance that caused clotting of blood, these dressings greatly reduced bleeding (which is the most common cause of death among wounded American troops.) This device was a major breakthrough in bandage technology.

Get 'em Dr. Tom! My 'ole buddy Dr. T is working on freeze drying whole blood. I expect he may have had a hand in this.

#6 #8 is pure self serving horse puckey. I have yet to meet a soldier who likes the "new" BDU uniform. The lack of accessable pockets when wearing body armor and the camo pattern are the #1 and #2 complaints I have heard from returning soldiers at the sharp end of the stick. Queer Eye for the GI Guy is not cutting it.
