#1 None of this sounds particularly new. Our GIs learned in WWII to blow mouseholes through walls so they could stay out of the street. The Brits also came up with the demining explosive barrel concept back then with one of their "funny tanks". I bet the real good stuff is classified, and, like most journalists, the author has no grasp of history or military concepts.
