Future of Maglev in the US Military
The Hippy of Death writes "An article at The Weekly Standard discusses the current maglev research being funded by the US military. From the article: 'But what if you could drastically reduce the amount of noise a ship makes directly at the source? ...Vibration & Sound Solutions Limited suggested placing mag-lev sensors at the source of the electromagnetic fields, such as motors. The idea was to actually levitate the machinery with an array of electromagnets while using a small amount of power.'"
No, the U.S. is not fighting any war against terrorists. It invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, which are countries, and thus waged war on those countries, and continues to occupy them. People who fight against that are called patriots, not terrorists. Arguably, since the U.S. has global hegemony for the moment, any combat operations conducted by the U.S. are actually suppressions of popular insurrections against their empire.
