It's a way of keeping you safe UNTIL the counterbattery fire takes out the OPFOR ARTY.
And given the accuracy of current counterfire radar tracking, and the accuracy of current ARTY C^3, it's not a case of "until you finally get it", you get it early on.
Actually the US has lagged behind the rest of the world in Artillery for a while.
Perhaps the actual gun hard may be. But our artillery C^3 and doctrine is the best in the world. From TACFIRE to LTACFIRE to IFSAS and AFATDS, the fire control systems are incredible. During the Gulf War, during the famous "end run", the artillery guys were calculating fire plans -- ON THE MOVE. Once the pieces were set, all they had to do was execute the fire plan, and kaboom! With the decentralization of fire control allowed by the latter three systems, the responsiveness is unmatched as well. There's a reason that Field Artillery is called "King of Battle".
Crusader was an answer to a threat that no longer existed. It was designed specifically to fight the Warsaw Pact on the plains of Germany.

How did he come up with 1.4TB for 13200 CDs?
It's about 2000 CDs.
1.4TB/(650MB/CD) = 2000 CD.
I guess we can dream.
Damn... I interviewed at Grail a few years back, but nothing ever came of it...
Buchwald sued Paramount, not Murphy.
Do a Google search on "Buchwald" "Coming to America" "Paramount"
for more on how movies don't make money.
You forgot "5 years experience with Windows XP".
No, it didn't, but if you asked Ballmer, you'd have to wait 40 minutes while he screamed about "DEVELOPERS!" and how he "LOVES THIS COMPANY!"
Then, you'd get the 10 second explanation.
Actually, IM(V)HO, *ALL* the root servers should be running different DNS servers. Basic rule of reliability...
With redundant servers running different software, the chance of a single attack taking them all down is minimized.
Yeah, and because it's not copyrighted, Newton probably won't try to create any more works!
Not quite. Bosons are particles with integral spin.
Fermions have half-integral spin. (i.e. 1/2, 1 1/2, 2 1/2, -1/2, etc..)
you wouldn't believe what happened to my carrots, black goo. black goo.
You fool! That's not carrots! That's an alien virus which will incubate inside you if you touch it!!!
What about the Farrah Fawcett poster?
it would be much cooler to watch man walk on Mars and then hear about how *that* was faked.
Been there, done that.
Shouldn't that be "Melinda Stunned!"???
C:\Windows is the same in all language versions,
Really? Then why does my Win2K install have C:\WINNT, but no C:\Windows?
It may work for Apple, but not for Paige.
Blaming that music downloaders where the reason for the fell. I wonder if they remember that there was a recession in 2001,
You don't understand. The Evil Content Pirates(tm) caused the recession, by causing the benevolent, kind record companies to lose money!!!!
It's simple.
2a) Blame losses on Evil Content Pirates(tm)
2b) Get Congress to pass yet another law in their favor
Of course in the real future, we'll just use food replicators. "Computer, I'll have a cup of Earl Grey with lemon."
Sheesh... get it right... it's, "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot."
I never thought I'd say that! /me checks the weather reports for hell...
I hope Phillips sues their asses off.
the first Iraqi action would be launching its entire chemical arsenal at Jerusalem,
Not too bright. Jerusalem also contains the holiest place in Islam outside of Mecca and Medina -- the Dome of the Rock.
Now if you had said Tel Aviv... but then of course, Baghdad would become a radioactive parking lot from Israeli nukes.

Not to mention that most ballistic calculations take air and shell temperature into account.
In our atmosphere, light travels at approximately the speed of sound.
<SARCASM>
Yeah, that's why pilots of supersonic jets don't bother with radio, because they fly faster than the radio signals.
