DARPA Announces Grand Challenge 2005
An anonymous reader writes "The Grand Challenge 2005 Date has been announced for October 8, 2005. Check out DARPA's official webpage for details. Already several teams from last year are gearing up: Carnegie Mellon Red Team, D.A.D., and Cal Tech. Also, several new teams are entering, among them Stanford, and Florida Tech. Should be a very interesting Challenge next year!"
Go beavers!
I suppose this is offtopic for everyone else, but that is my 50th birthday and setting that date when I am trying to avoid thinking of my 49th is very very insensitive. 16 months off and they have to pick that date. No, I won't be there.

I noticed. Some bozo keeps doing that.
Wow, how long did it take you to spot this? 30 seconds?
You need to get a fucking life, man.
In the meantime, I'll keep reposting your lame diatribe about your leet Team Fagbot every time Taco dupes the story.
What lost viet name was the lack of definable goals. Same with Iraq. Goals such as "Take the beach" "annihalate dresden" or "destroy this installation" are military goals that can be achived. but "Create a free and democratic state" and "Remoev the threat of communism" are not.
Technology made it so you didn't lose more troops. The daisy cutters helped alter the battle field and prevent an outright slaughter. The tanks and FAE ensured a victory in the initital military campeign. what defeats the US is the political campeign after. For that you need to educated your Populace that good leaders rarely arise from idiots(Bush jr.) and cretins (Nixxon).
