And no matter how much money is spent, the foot soldier or civilian mostly slog on without hi-tech wonders. The method used in the clip is controversal, but I made them with the idea others might test the hypothesis. If it was one of my kids in the Iraq/Afghanistan War, I would hope and pray that any and all methods would be tested - especially low-cost cheap ones. Low-tech answers, whatever they may be, are probably the only chance most foot soldiers and civilians have. DoD has spent hundreds of millions on high-technology devices that have yet to see the battlefield, here 6 years after invading Afghanistan and 4 1/2 in Iraq. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMU9OWaxnSI Dear Joe,
