I don't understand what all the fuss is about. The directed energy weapons being tested are non leathal and are not being developed for their leathality (at this time). These and other weapons are being developed and deployed to help find better ways of dealing with these situations. As such they would not go against the GC or any other standing articles of engagement that the civilized nations adhere to.

would you like it if the USA gov decided to test its weapons on you?

Now, in the case of fighting against a people who find it acceptable to hack at a persons neck with a dull blade until their head comes off I don't see how any of the "civilized" rules of engagement can be adhered to. I don't personally think that making a pile of POW's even comes close to comparing to what is being perpetrated by those same POW's before they are captured. And, if pictures of naked POW's being led around on a leash by a woman make some of those people stop fighting, then that's even better, isn't it? Woudln't that be a surrender without shots fired? I think it would and I'm all for it.

just because they can do it doesnt mean we can or have to. i'd rather have a military that doesnt butcher POW's or mistreat them or lead them around on leashes that is fighitng a difficult war than have one that does. also many people in there are only "thought" to be in line with insurgents many arnt. how can you tell a terorist from a civie? also it wont stop them ,it will make them madder and give them a reason to fight against the coalition. it would also show the coalition doesnt care about prisnors so we would be no better than the thugs themselves.

I think the US should be commended for trying to use nudie pics and non-lethal force to end this conflict.

non leathal force ,yes.
nude pics, no.
how would you like it ,if you got arested , being led around naked?

devilwasp - I can't believe how naive you are. Here's how you can tell a terrorist from a regular civilian in the middle east. YOU personally go there. The people that kidnap and kill you are terrorists. The ones who watch and do nothing will be regular civilians like me who are sick and tired of your bleeding heart mis-guided ways.

yes they are terrorists BUT what is he fighting for?

As for the soldiers who are there fighting, its very easy for them to tell a terrorist from a civilian. The terrorists are the ones who are trying to kill the soldiers. The regular civilians are the ones who thank the soldiers for everything that they have done and will do (or at least are just trying to live their lives without killing anyone).

no person over there thanks them they have killed many civies by firendly fire or misidentification. identifying a terrrorist is by no means easy. how can you tell the diffrence between a man defending his family and a terrorist ?
regular civilians hate us there cause of the propaganda and misinformation run by inurgent forces.

Now, after your trip to the middle east (assuming you survive) log back on and post if you would rather the soliders use weapons (non-lethal, lethal, pictoral or what have they) or not.

i would rather NOT have our soldiers there. and also i would rather have them haveing non lethal but testing them in iraq goes too far. would the US civilain population give the go ahead sign for testing new weapons on mobs or riots?

As for all your comments about "would you want it done to you?" I answer yes I would. If I lived a life in which I killed randomly and indiscriminately, I would want all those nasty, horrible things to happen to me because I would deserve it. Just like the scum that it is happening to now. Too bad it isn't happening to more of them.

wtf kind of sick scum are you , sorry mods but this just goes to far.
not every one there is fighting and killing random people they are using every tool to get an invader force out of thier country. if the USA had been in thier position , military destroyed, econmy destroyed, goverment removed and their civies killed by acident would they use tatics like this ?yes, would britain? yes, would most western countries would.
just before you start saying i love terrorists , i dont. i dont support their methods or actions im just showing why this war is pointless.
