It seems to me that the Marines should be the ones to ask about this device.They should be able to tell you very quickly if the thing lives up to it’s billing. When it comes to military spending and the defense department I always look with skeptical eyes. Which company stands to lose if this device works and which congressman is getting greased by a company that makes military vehicles. Our troops shouldn’t have to deal with these realities, but they do.

This must be the silly season. Too many young boys think that war is just a video game. Deaths are not avoided by destroying stationary IEDs that have already been identified as stationary IEDs.
How about a DNA scanner that can detect suicide bombers in realtime! Then you can float these in space and scan the whole population of the world, well at least the one’s you catch in the carpark walking between the mall and the car, and those on the golf course.
PS Don’t forget to downplay the 10% issue for the sake of saving lives.

what is the Amount of reward for reducing losses from IED’s in Iraq and the Far east? We can reduce your losses to near zero In a short period of time and maintain near zero losses.

Maarten– This seems to be above your paycheck. Get a dictionary and use it. Your ideas or the ones you quote from John Kerry may then be taken seriously.
As we adapt our tactics so do the insurgents; we, wervicemen and women, need to stay a step ahead. Eventually, Iraqis will step up and take control of their country. Foreign aid happens… Days of the “people rising” have been eliminated in part to technological advances. Sit-ins don’t work when life is not valued by fanatical Muslims.
Don’t comment on what you don’t know; that is ignorance.

Throwing more technology at a non technology problem won’t make an iota of difference.
It is not that the technology doesn’t look impressive.
It is not that the thinking ability and innovative approach is un-valued
It is simply that the issue in Iraq is not about the technology, it is about different approaches to valuing the world. Until we realise that, more lives will be lost and substantial amounts of money will be spent achieving little. There is a big difference between activity and productivity. At the moment, there appears to be an awful lot of activity.

We are the most technologicly advanced and richest
nation on the face of the planet,can spend 300 mil
on trailers for katrina victems (which aren’t beingused by the way)but we can’t get our war fightersthe tools,armour and protection they need,and areASKING for,and WILL use the help!
Get this stuff to the field and put it to use,make
changes to it as you go to improve and refine the
tech to make it even more usable.I cannot believe
we can’t have this ied problem nipped already if
the solution is right there in our hands,ready to
go.

Technology is not the answer to IED’s in Iraq or Afganistan. We are waisting milions of dollars on high tech solutions to the low-tech applications the bad guys are using. This is just another expensive toy that distracts the government from attacking the real problem, of the terrorist organization itself. As pointed out nuturalizing an IED once its found is simple, its the finding them thats hard. Better yet is lets insure the damn things arn’t built and placed on the roadside to begin with at all. Just as powerful as the explosive is the liberal anti-bush/anti-war on terrorism media coverage, they provide the terrorists the worldwide stregic impact, damage assessment, lessons learned, and encourgement they need to carry on. So long as we only focus on the device we will never solve the problem.
