    But yep....the tech's getting there. The question is what would the financial costs be of fielding this type of tech, how wide, and when Also, what about maintenance of the munitions in the field, would any special upkeep or care of the "bullets" be required
    "The use of force is always an answer to problems. Whether or not it's a satisfactory answer depends on a number of things, not least the personality of the person making the determination. Force isn't an attractive answer, though. I would not be true to myself or to the people I served with in 1970 if I did not make that realization clear."
