Terrorism like this tends to happen in more impoverished areas of the world. And any innovation that is found in this pales in comparison to what the US military already has.
- wyattpeak 8y agoHow is that relevant? The fact that IEDs wouldn't pass muster in a proper military doesn't mean we don't need tools to deal with them. Having a better weapon doesn't stop a shitty weapon from killing you.
