I love this line. The confidence! As if humans have of course wanted IR visibility for ever.

- kridsdale1 1y agoIn the past, when armies faced each other on a front, activity halted at night. You gain a huge advantage if you can infiltrate to sabotage or assassinate the enemy camp in a way that you can see them but they can’t see you. See the Japanese foxhole assaults on various island fronts.
