What, you thought it was safe because we're not getting a laser cannon until the end of the decade? Please. Do we have to run down the line with you? All right then:
Count out 5,800 air strikes and rising in the past year in Afghanistan. Add to that an ersatz Landspeeder that could be used in nuclear disasters. Compound that with slowly disintegrating Littoral Combat Ships, overhyped Iranian missile silos, floating spec-ops jails and bogus, Dark Knight-inspired terror schemes that may turn out to be good news. The fear, I smell it on you.
You want cerebral? Intelligence analysts are mining social networks to learn what they're missing, and plan on collaborating through holographic displays. Want financial? Cash keeps flowing for the Libya war, and bodyshot-crazy mercenaries had to pay back some of their ill-gotten gains. Want to see the future of wartime surveillance before it happens? Giant. Frigging. Blimps.
That's just a quick demonstration of why we're rated the number-one defense blog. Fear is the only rational reaction. Compose yourself: we'll be back on it after the weekend.
