Well IIRC the Air Force is fielding seven 747s mounted with airborne
anti-ballistic
missile laser on them. Now if we can only get that forward lens to depress
enough.....

Los
=================================
Shame on you! You know that'd be a bad idea! It'd only give the airforce a
chance to really work out that interservice rivalry once and for all....

Air force pilot on AC-5A Thunderchicken:

"You want it where? Okay..... Wait, we're you the 'gyrenes that broke up my
favorite bar at <deleted for security reasons>?.... I think you
were.....
....one Alpha Strike coming right up.... where did you say your trench was
again?...."

<I'm only kidding in case we have any flyboys around. But us PBI develop a
healthy respect for how dead one can get from friendly air dropped ordinance
or friendly artillery. The PBI can eat the round, and the arty gunner or the
sky jockey just goes back to his hooch safe and sound.>

I've got hostile contacts over-running my perimeter... ;-)  >

If it were not for certain executive orders this would be great for the
special operations folks to remove those pesky hard to get at targets.

Picture of Saddam Hussein on CNN giving a speach.

Somewhere in a nice office below the pentagon. "You got the coordinater
chief?" "Roger that sir. Calling the cook now... Cook this is Waiter, one BBQ
chicken to go, coordinates follow." "Roger that Waiter. Order confirmed."
CNN--Camera goes out for a second...when video is restored there is only
a picture of a smoking podium and a few guards looking at a pile of something
on the floor. "Waiter this is Cook." "Go ahead Cook." "You want fries with
that?"

US foreign policy would be a little more interesting.
