Just out of curiousity, what situation would necessitate "testing" these methods here in the US? Protest speech against the president perhaps?

There are many, many individuals that bear leathal arms just toa make sure that will never happen.

Wow. A new definition of sheep defending this.

You guys really think its ok to test microwave weapons on demonstraters?

You are either paid misinformants or have some thick ****** skulls.

"Nonlethal weapons such as high-power microwave devices should be used on American citizens in crowd-control situations before being used on the battlefield, the Air Force secretary said Tuesday."

"crowd-control situations": I am guessing they wouldn't need the guinea pigs (aka American citizens, aka human beings) permission to test this *untested* weapon on them.

As in they don't KNOW if it is lethal UNTIL they test it... on AMERICANS? You are fools to defend these policies that are meant to be just another step towards more control of YOU.

Yeah thats exactly how defense contracts work - companies make something, hand it to us armed forced and say "let me know if it works" :roll: I can guarantee you this has been tested before.

I understand his point loud and clear. He doesn't want to hear from Amnesty International or someone like that because some Iraqi went deaf or blind after having hyper sound or laser light shot at their head. He wants to be able to tell the world that we know it's safe cause look at those anti-war protestors, and those gay rights paraders, they're ok. But this does not make it right. With the rise of non-lethals the police will become more trigger happy, and more willing to break up non-violent demonstrations using these 'weapons' thinking they are doing their victims a favor. Besides the military should NEVER talk about using any force against US citizens, that's the police's job.

Some of you need to watch this

And 'public relations' is correct -- like a frog in a pot brought to the boil, you continue to blindly accept and even encourage what's enroaching upon you.

You're a smart man.

But what if it actually works correctly?

Sad day, I guess. If it worked 'correctly' they'd be all dead. Correctly and how it's sposed to wouldn't be the same thing, at least in my opinion.

I think I'm living in a Country a bit changed from when I was born in it...

We give the Iraqi Chemical Weapons to use as they deem necessary and now just a few years later worry about using a non lethal crowd control device... I assume we were using M16's and other assorted lethal means to thwart the flower bearers and chocolate givers rushing to bless us with their gratitude...

Where else do we intend to intervene in the goings on within sovereign nations? And why on earth 'test' on citizens of this country as if it was that ultra safe depleted uranium dust fluttering around.
