Nanotech Paints For Military

pmacwill wrote to us with a recent article on Pennet in regards to the U.S. military's proposed use of nanotech paints. Actually, it goes beyond proposal -- and beyond paint, as it would allow vehicles to change camo patterns very easily, and would also repair micro-cracks and fractures without the need for service.

This is what happens when you increase defense spending by a huge amount - they don't know what to do with it, so at that point, crazy little applications like smart paint start getting approved.
How about worrying about improving the 50% chance that the National Missile Defense program has of intercepting an incoming nuke? And even THAT's assuming that the missile follows a plain vanilla trajectory with no fancy moves.
Flame me if you want, but this is what you get when you put a kiddish idiot who likes to play with guns in the white house.
