#1 First priority for deployment is with our troops, next should be the Israelis. Israel would make a good testbed for these things.

#7 This sort of thing is the onlyway they'll ever have peace in Israel. When the Palestinians had their own territory they fired rockets into Israel regularly. When the Palestinians were part of Jordan and Egypt they fired rockets into Isreal regularly. I have a sneaking suspician that if they have a state of their own they'll be raining rockets down on Israel again.

#8 This could be a real boon if we can get this deployed in Iraq.

#9 I think it is time we demonstrated the full power of this battle station. Set your course for Tehran.

#10 I imagine that the ability to track a mortar round might also imply the ability to fire counter-battery. I am hopeful.
