Well actually, this is more humane than normal weapons....


There is no "humane" way to kill someone violently. Trauma is trauma. 5000FPS terminal velocity will generate some hellish effects on target with a considerable amount of fragmentation... Think of it as standing at ground zero when a meteorite strikes.

^ obviously you've never been at sea for 3 months straight on a US Navy destroyer. Add gravity, 400 men, some bilge gray paint, then take away the nice view and replace it with 360 degrees of sky and sea. These are some pretty nice digs.


How about a submarine? Isn't that even worse?

I wonder what wake boarding behind that would be like...


Fun.

What a thrill for those sailors standing on deck.


Better count them after the turn is finished!

^afaik, it's not secretive scientists that are holding the project back, but stupid policies of the US Navy - they classify all the projects they fund, and they've only given this project "keep-alive"-funds for about 5 years. I don't think they'll let anyone else touch it, unfortunately.

Yay, my favorite reactor configuration!

If it wasn't because the US Navy would probably give me trouble, I'd set up a site to collect donations to get it built.

Big victory for the US Navy. Old Ironsides!
Trust wikipedia if you don't trust me.
Go Navy!

^vulgar editing? what about the vulgar fact that inncocent people were blown off the skies by a bunch of idiots who got away with murder because they were americans? that doesn't make you angry, but the tasteless editing does?
Cease this moronic bleating and read his comment again.


my point is that poor editing is, well - beside the point. calvados was getting stuck at the stupid montage at the end and thought the message was conveyed in an inappropriate manner, but one shouldn't let that get in the way of facts presented.

>> ^Gunter:
Even if we didn't have a Military, I don't think people would realize how many citizens would take up arms if America was invaded. Even immigrants in my opinion the illegal and legal ones would take up arms if their lively hood was threatened by an invasionary force. we would be fighting just like the people who fight in iraq are fighting. Don't underestimate the general population. We won the Revolutionary war by guerilla tactics. That is why i can't understand why our military is so unused to fighting that style of war. Our Country was founded on those tactics.


There fixed that for you.

I was going to upvote this -- important bit of infamous history and cautionary tale that it is -- until that ridiculous editing at the end. "Here, let's loop that part where he gets up and gives a whoop so that it looks like he's fucking the shattered corpse of each person on that destroyed airliner." Very poor taste.

i agree about that silly montage at the end, not necessary. however, the fact remains, those guys got away with mass murder. and ask yourself - what was their fucking business, patroling the iranian waters? defending the interests of some jumpy big oil cowboys who were afraid for their investments and didn't want iraq to loose the 1980-88 war with iran. it was the US war ship that was the agent provocateur in this case, their actions can not be defended in any international court of law. not that any US soldier will ever see the inside of one - you can't sue a stormtrooper, can you?
the russians did the same with a korean airliner for god knows what reason


What does your comment have to do with my comment? Here's two facts: the crew of the USS Vincennes were grossly negligent in this case (you seem to think I'm defending them somehow), and this video uses vulgar and idiotic editing to try and make a point which instead weakens its reportage.
