Blind Soldier Uses Tongue To "See"

Zen found this story about a blind soldier using a lollypop-sized tongue sensor to 'see.' The system actually enables him to walk and read unaided. The guy says, "It feels like licking a nine-volt battery or like popping candy. The camera sends signals down onto the lollypop and onto your tongue, you can then determine what they mean and transfer it to shapes."

Assuming he was a soldier in an offensive or other greed-based war: Not going and trying to kill people for the power and money of a couple of douches telling lies?
