Air Force chief: Test weapons on testy U.S. mobs

[GatorB]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Nonlethal weapons such as high-power microwave devices should be used on American citizens in crowd-control situations before being used on the battlefield, the Air Force secretary said Tuesday.

"If we're not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens, then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation," said Wynne.

I completely 100% agree with this guy. Our citizens, usually unarmed and rather peaceful, are much more dangerous than soldiers with guns or terrorists with explosives strapped to their backs.

Smart idea. People, of course, are going to cry about shit anyway, but at least when fools say "oh my god wtfbbq, they did that to the poor Iraqis!" -- they can just say "yeah, but we did it to a bunch of whining idiots FIRST!"
