@strider_mt2k: My dad told me the only fair fight is the one the loser said he was involved in. As a DCI agent, he said that the fight you should be in is one that you are fighting to win. If that involves kicking them in the nuts, or punching them in the throat, do it. You can deal with the derision from others while you back in the glory of your win.
Same goes for war. Its difficult to comfort the victims of a dirty bomb by telling them we could have stopped it, but do to the rules of engagement, we just couldn't pull the trigger.
On point the the vest above, I hope they don't have it clearly marked where the good places to shoot are that don't set off the bomb, otherwise if the bad guys get a hold of the plans, they will just put a special little trip switch there that we will be sure to shoot, thus setting off the bomb.
This is cool and all, but until they can simulate sharks with lasers on their heads, the US military will not be trained sufficiently to take out rich, industrial megalomaniac type terrorists. That's where the real risk is.

Otherwise all bets are off and you better be sharp or die.
Sorry...it's war.
