Bottom line: THEL has primarily been developed to intercept relatively primitive threats such as homemade Qassam rockets and World War II–era Katyusha rockets, which thus far have not incorporated sophisticated countermeasures.

It is only a game; happy is the purpose of the game. I chat with him happy. I have an on line he will not be alone to upgrade and earn GuildWars money, but rather for the first time chat with me, in this way we often sit together.

Rappelz left everywhere in our laughter. There is only one reason is that I have her around, I would meet, everything becomes unimportant. One thing I feel very sorry, that is when I married her, mo gorgeous fireworks, mo friends of blessing. Now I have heart, I feel wronged her, I am sorry to her.

Until now, I did not have a true friend, although I was a lonely, although I did not like the other players that they have many friends send them cheap zeny, I must be rely on myself, at least I will not hurt anybody, and perhaps this is kind of happiness.

Anything is possible, but at a cost. People doubted the aspect of the airplane and the lightbulb. Now these are things used everyday. But if the cost of effective lasers is harmful waste products, then people need to find another way or just five up. Sure these laser weapons are plausible. Anything is possible, but at a cost.

Have you ever heared of the Laser Avenger that Boeing developed and tested and is about ready to fielded. http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military_law/4231116.html Mainly as a demonstrator to show the world that we have the technology and we can develope and field it in a short time. War time is wonderful for weapon development. If it weren't for WW2 our country wouldn't have gotten out of the Depretion, developed the Atomic bomb or became the greatest Power the world has ever known. We have this "war" in the middle east that is constantly active yet tame enough to let us refine old equipment and develope and deploy new stuff too. I have been in the Army National Guard (Cavalry Scout and Infantry) for only 3 years and I have been issued, turned-in, and issued new gear and battle uniforms 4 times since I enlisted. I also Work for Boeing so I get updates on all the new projects daily, and they are all on their way to on schedual deployment. The Air Force has orders for 12 of the Airborn Lasers. My point is, We are the greatest in the world with no real pertinant need for Laser weapons. The technology is slow in being developed because it can be. Like the F-22 I remember when it was a consept back in 1992, and only now is it being activated. All the debate was not if it was do-able (of course it was, it was nothing outragious) the debate is if it was nesesary. The same thing applies to the Laser Weapons. Can we do it? Definatly! Do we NEED them? Probably not right now. But we could and that is the point. Right now the United States needs to be the expert of the technology and be able to have the upper hand if the threat ever came about. I guess that's all I have to say about that. Ok all you nay-sayers.

I can buy a laser for welding that is lethal as a weapon. Burn a hole in your head quite easily. Stick it on a truck, get some big batteries, simple. Not much range but who cares. As if there isn't totally lethal laser weaponry in existence. As if massive lasers are a problem. As if targeting is a problem. As if the military gives a shit about the toxicity of chemicals. Heard of plutonium? As if the military is going to tell us what they're really doing...unbelievable naivety to think otherwise. It's all about money. It's all about domination of the globe with space based weapons. They are not going to tell us anything whatsoever about the reality of advanced weapons systems. Time to have a really good think.

Don't get me wrong, I am not flat-out denying what you're saying and, in fact, it would be fantastic if bleeding-edge laser technology were as far advanced as you claim it to be. However, if it were the case, would we not, at least in part, have seen evidence of its existance. If we genuinely have that technology available, why is it not seen atop every HUMVEE? If you have the technology why not use it? If they are using it, is it really possible to completely cover it up? If I'm just being naive, please tell me. That seems relatively implausible.
