I concur. And none of the movie adaptations have really even touched on what, for me, was the biggest theme of the original story: What does it mean to be a "monster?"
In terms of game theory, if you take the high road and don't do it, but your competitor does, they could outsell you. Economically, the benefits of booth babes still outweigh the risks. That's why.
The movie, at least. From the wikipedia synopsis: "As the officers and their companions retreat to an underground bomb shelter, a general firefight ensues between the Dozen and the German troops. After Wladislaw and Reisman lock the Germans in the bomb shelter, the Dozen pry open the ventilation ducts to the shelter and drop unprimed grenades down, then pour gasoline inside. Jefferson throws a primed grenade down each shaft and sprints for their vehicle, but is shot down as the grenades explode."
The hidden bomb shelter 10 feet underground which has a 90-day food supply, 10,000 rounds of ammo, and an independent power/water supply. That's protected by secrecy.
Not anymore! [Posting from inside your formerly-secret shelter, munching on your power bars...]
A 1/5 energy reduction is the equivalent of -7dBsm, hardly what would be considered invisible in the radar world. And whatever you're trying to hide has to fit entirely within the cylinder, whose size is almost certainly dictated by frequency - the larger you make it, the lower the narrow frequency it hides from. Aside from that, there's no information given on co- or cross-polarization measurements. And only one look angle was measured - i.e., it only works from edge-on. Tilt the disk a little and there goes your reduction.
Too many specialized robots lately. If we could create a monkey brain-powered, noodle-making, furniture-building, sumo-fighting UBERrobot, then.. Profit!
At the time, I never imagined that a childhood spent playing with a Danish toy would prepare me to someday be quite proficient at assembling Swedish furniture.

He was just continuing the policies which his predecessors had initiated. Sound familiar?
Wow, it's our very own Krola.

When it comes to handling criminals there are three major things to weight against each other: Rehabilitation, deterration, protection and revenge.
By my count, that's four major things, Cardinal Ximinez.

I was just having a bit of fun with your apparent typo - I assume you meant "finning," not "fining"...
Things like shark fining,
I hardly think placing surcharges on sharks will solve sustainability issues...
Went tangential quickly, didn't we.

The Dirty Dozen called it, then.
Surely Sparticus789 would never have constructed such an obviously-flawed shelter.

Yeah, you really had to pay attention to that wind speed and direction. Other than that, MIRV was half of my favorite two, along with super napalm.
So, apparent abductions and unexplained disappearances would still get police assistance like you would expect.
But how can they know if it's a cleverly done abduction or not? So if you're a meticulous kidnapper, it's open season on adults in France now?
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

No, the issue is multi-faeceted.
Incidentally, the original "gun" was nothing more than a hollow shoot of bamboo, filled partway with powder and partway with rocks.
And the Gorns have been cursing it's invention ever since.
Heh. And let's not even remind them of the imaging satellites that have already been in place for decades. Think Google maps has nice resolution?
This. It doesn't cost me tens of millions of dollars every time I don't win the lottery...
And it's pronounced "Throatwobbler Mangrove."
