What's "NE1"? How does that play in?
NE1="N"+"E"+"1"=Anyone
I didn't think the entire word, "anyone," would fit in the subject/titel line. There's no other/deeper meaning that was intended!
A Mod. must have changed it to "Anyone," because I didn't.
I heard the USAF quickly discarded thia idea way back in 1994 or so.
Under the freedom of information act, some reporter dug up this info and printed as new.
This story has been coming on and off every couple of years since then....
Crazy! Millions of $$$ for an idea like that? I read that officials said it was "qickly discarded" too. But I also read and heard (all over the news yesterday) it was being studied up and through 2001-02. They said it was actally brought before a group of top scientsts to study it... "Quickly discarding an idea," doesn't sound very truthfull when details showing that something like "$7.5M" was spent on the "idea."
I've seen a lot of crazy "ideas" pop up before, but when something as idiotic as this one is shown to be true, it really makes me question what in the hell is our military thinking, and do they take money/lives seriously. The military could have done something like bought a "few" more/different guns that don't jam for the troops (those who don't like the M16/M4). Just an idea.
How about making an "Opium Bomb" that will get the enemy so "high" they can't fight, and so addicted to the stuff that instead of selling drugs (Afghanistan) they consume everything they grow.
How about a "Ghandi Bomb." People will refuse to fight and only do things peacefully!?!
The Military should check out "YouTube" if it's looking for the worlds dumbest ideas.
