Leave for three years, I have quite repeatedly returned to the Rappelz game. I continue for good equipment to buy rupees. Three years of time I have played many games, but no a game can let me real input. By now I have found that the original is the lack of a person accompanying me.

Improvements in electronic warfare are great. I just wonder why not go the other way, instead of jamming the signals to the IED’s, install radio equipment in helicopters that scan the entire spectrum of radio frequencies and detonate the IED’s in their factories, delivery vehicles and the ones already in place before our troops get there?

The jammers are a great asset, but we are forgetting that if you rely on technology alone and forget the basics, people will get killed. The people building these arent stupid. If they can rig a motion detector onto a bomb then maybe we should send our troops some remote controlled cars to run past the bombs. Hell, they only cost a few bucks!!

Ref your comments on the new Counter-IED equipment
$12000 each!!???!!! that is such a load of you know what! Raytheon is scarfing on that one. As a former team sergeant from a jamming team, I can tell you that a jammer is nothing special — it’s a basic transmitter that you can build at Radio Shack for probably $50, then add the amp and the computerized seek and destroy capability — ok you’re up to let’s say $1500 — that’s $10500 profit per unit and Raytheon should be ashamed of itself for ripping off soldiers who could use the money elsewhere like light modular armor for Humvees…and you said 6000 units are being purchased… sounds like some General is covering his derriere by saying look what we did to support the troops — another Defence contract that is a CYA measure and won’t really help the troops.
By the way — the unit won’t have to transmit at 500W like a real jammer used in EW. Your average garage opener, home cordless phone, tv remote etc transmit at miliwatts, maybe 5w at most. Do you realize a FRS (Family Radio System) can only transmit at 1 and 5w, like a marine radio and a CB for that matter. Of course you can tweak them up to maybe 12 to 15, but we’re talking unsophisticated IED’s — the electronics used to cook them off can be bought at any Home Depot, Kmart etc…
Do you think it’s worth $12000 a unit??

I’m sure the cuts are necessary at some level of government expense, but the Military? Is this guy for real? Didn’t the Bush Administration research this guys resume? If President Clinton is listed as a reference you might not want to hire him!!!!!!!!!!

This is obviously a way to send a strong message. The military can’t do more with less and hasn’t been able to for some time. The fluff is gone. During a time when we can’t even get armor to our troops until they’ve been in country for a looong time, how can we cut any modernization program. During a time when we don’t have enough troops to meet all of our demands (including a new role in disaster relief) how can we cut people. Congress will pony up the funding eventually. What’s a few more billion in defecit? Just another budget drill…threaten to cut what you can least afford to cut and see what falls out.
