Note to anyone thinking of following the link in the original post: don't bother. hevanet.com contains more that the usual load of leftist-socialist-conspiracy theory crap. It's poorly organized, poorly written and above all, poorly reasoned. It's a spectacularly awful attempt to add something useful to the debate on the dynamics of US foreign relations.
Futurepower dude should immediately yank his head out of his ass, then proceed to the nearest Clue store to buy one of their fine products. Sheesh.

I can see your point in that using high-tech weapons and sensors goes against the uniquely (and quaint) Western notion of fair play on the field of battle. I suggest to you that this notion has always been a myth, an ideal to which some wish to strive but ultimately set aside when the lead begins to fly. It's noble, it's naive, and it's wrong.
If a nation asks its young men and women to put their lives at risk for a just cause (and wiping out Al Queda falls into that category), that nation owes it to their soliders to put every technological advantage at their disposal.
Would you feel better if we stabbed them all to death using pikes, or clubbed them to a pulp from an arms' length?
