Current Affairs Potluck: Iraq, Due Process, & Global Warming

Tracon says...

Why is it that Charlie Rose can spend 1 hour and explain a topic usually in a highly informative way, with decent questions and the right guests then leaving you with more information than 24 hours worth of CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, etc. How is it acceptable that the remainder just pump out pablum with a mix of pedestrian insight that could be gained by asking "what if" to a 5 year old.

@Farhad2000
Yeah the warhead has to travel 25m past the launcher before the warhead is armed but with a dud like that run like hell just in case. Thats just standard on any range. Then call in the Sappers/Pioneers and stay away from it. M203's have to spin a number of times before there armed like darksun said but wire guided rockets don't spin and there is a range finder built into the launcher. I never got to fire HEAT-WRAP rounds just TPT (pratice) rounds. There are 2 or 3 french units gearing up for the next tour in Afganistain.
@darksun
its a decision between range and punch.
ERYX 600m range can defeat reactive armor (the americans have so far refused to declassify there test M1 abrams vs ERYX)
MILAN 1/2 2200m range cant defeat reactive armor (Milan 3 can though but loses 200m)

But yeah the Javelin i have fired HEAT rounds and that thing is fun watching it slam into the target from above. They like to zig zag but before hitting they usualy fly up then just slam right into the target its fun to watch.
