N-e (Needle-eyeification) Weapon
A class of weapons that had the most precise effect imaginable. (Read the full article)
| "Reminds me of Queensryche's song "Surgical Strike" from the 'Rage For Order' album. The song talks about how our soldiers are trained not to feel because they are detached from the battle using automated weapons and it eventually leads up to: "Assessment will not be by humans." As much control as it seems we still have over these weapons, it kind of feels like we're headed towards automated assessment, and war protesters may only hasten this procedure. Of course, having said that, I completely encourage anyone w/a valid protest to speak out, but be careful of how and what you endorse. Don't just blindly throw yourself behind something. Goes for those of you that back the war effort too!" (JiMiG a. k. a. j5265 10/27/2006 1:48:34 PM ) |
