Heat Ray Gun Fails Final Test; Nixed From War
eldavojohn writes "The heat ray gun to be deployed in Afghanistan has failed its final test and will not be deployed. US military commanders who have had it in the field now have declined to use it. After being tested more than 11,000 times on around 700 volunteers, it failed to achieve satisfaction from the military and will not be deployed."
They need to find whoever made that stupid decision and hit them with it. Then maybe they'll think it's effective. I mean seriously, when I first heard about this, I thought it's the PERFECT WEAPON! It still is. Someone has seriously got their head up their ass on this one.

They already have the sound cannons that cause instantaneous and permanent hearing damage, and can rapidly cause permanent deafness.
They were used against protesters to the G20 meeting.
Citation needed. I thought we had laws here in the US about using weapons that maim? I am fairly certain we have at least signed an international treaty that prevents us from using weapons that blind people...

Anti-anti rant follows:
Oh yes, the famous Israeli genocide against Palestine people. They are killing innocents in scores, destroying whole generations, leaving nothing but burned houses and mutilated corpses in their wake...
Hold on, the Palestinian population has quadrupled in the last few decades?! Now a genocide should be about *decreasing* the population, someone in the Israeli government has clearly got it wrong. What is it they are shooting Palestinians with? Semen-enriched munition?
OK, I get it, it is the economical blockade which lets Palestinian people starve (but still breed and multiply their numbers) and live their lives in poverty and misery. One problem -- according to UN report, the standards of living in Palestine are higher than in Libya, Syria or even Egypt! Do note that there are no Israeli in said countries to oppress local population...
To summarize -- the Palestinians fight against so-called genocide which lets them breed as rabbits, against relative wealth they have from Israel and international help.
They have no industries to speak of, no economy, the biggest employee in Palestine is their corrupt government, tossing political opponents out of windows (or just shooting them) is politics as usual there. Oh, and *every* Arab country with Palestinian refuge camps was forced to conducted military actions against these camp's inhabitants at least once.
What d'ya say folks, should the international community help them even more? I see no reason to say no, they all seem nice fellas...
