Mr_Pleasington:
Have you all seen this:  http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20021105/ts_nm/arms_usa_laser_dc_6

This is something I think the military has had the capabilities of doing for more than a few years now, but is just now leaking as war looks imminent.   I'm not a a big conspiracy theorist, but for as much has been said about it since the Star Wars Program failed, you just knew they had to be working on it.

Anyway, looks like the troops will be a little safer and war is beginning to look more and more like an RTS game.

Lord_of_Me:
wow, that is cool! :o
I always wondered if they were still working on lasers

Mr_Pleasington:
Did you take a look at the picture of it.  It looks like the Might Spotlight of Doom (tm)!

Tage:
So, my question is:

If they can vaporize an artillary shell moving at supersonic speeds, why don't they just zap the enemy base?

Mr_Pleasington:
Because it would be unfair to the countries who can't afford a Spotlight O' Doom.
