#1 I'm all for the development and deployment of non-lethals. Anything that gives the local commander and the troops on the ground more options should be a good thing. But I am also afraid that with the development of mature non-lethal technologies we will see highly restrictive ROEs that hamstring troops on the ground and lead to casualties that could be avoided. I've got a son-in-law in the sandbox now and I want to see him come home in one piece just like every one else with loved ones there. I also don't want to see any innocent Iraqi or Afhgans killed or wounded either
