#1 This is so stupid. Here is a technology that will actually reduce collateral damage and minimize the "Lions of Islam" use of human shields but the weiners in DoD legal department won't let it be used. How, uhm, French of them.

#2 There may be more to this. The consensus is that this weapon works well. However, there are two problems. First of all, we aren't facing any big rent-a-mobs; and second, we know that our current enemies are firm believers in rent-a-mobs.

That is, throughout the Muslim world, one of their greatest "victories", was by sending mobs of women and children against Israeli soldiers during their first retreat from Lebanon--turning the retreat into a rout.

Since that time, using such "mob charges" has been the Muslims "secret weapon".

The Iranians also used human wave attacks against the Iraqis in their war.

So it may actually benefit us to put this weapon on the back burner. Keeping it ready to deploy when we face off against such mobs, and not using it until both necessary and critical.

This would mean that it would both be unexpected and they would have thought up no possible tactic to defend against it.

And since it is very portable, how long does it take to fly a Humvee Sheriff system in, even from the US?

#3 Tell you exactly what'll happen if you deploy it against muzzies. They'll take a child, pour gazoline all over her (cause male children're more valuable) and burn her. And MSM will report that your ADS kills children.

#4 Probably. But it will take them several critical months of being routed by ADS before they think up that technique. Again, why we should only use it when we need to.

#5 That still doesn't relieve us of the fact that they sidelined it because they're afraid of death rays because they are so abysmally stupid. Kinda hard to soar with the eagles when you are working with turkeys like this. Those same turkeys cost us "neutralizing" mullah Omar, too. If anything, they are an impediment in my book. This is war, and all's fair as long as it isn't evil.

I imagine one of those "spontaneous" mobs showing up -- all dressed in tinfoil. Right down to their hats.
