"The improved stable platform will support most crew-served weapons and contains a sensor suite and fire control software that allows on-the-move target acquisition and first-burst target engagement. The nearly $200,000 system is designed to replace the turret gunner on Humvees to improve combat effectiveness."

I'm with you in spirit, but it's not likely that the government is prepared to shoulder the PR risk that would accompany an upgrade that costly. However, I do think it could definitely be marketed as 'the perfect stocking-stuffer for that special Hummer owner in your life.'

Most people blame inactivity. I blame kidnappers. Most of my friends who have kids won't let the kids walk to school, opting instead to WAIT WITH THEM by the curb until the bus fetches them for the two block ride. Because you never know when the kidnapper, always lurking just out of sight, will jump out suddenly, sodomize (or worse!) two or three kids, and then return to his hiding place, ready to prey again. Or is it pray? No, priests do that. Hmm...maybe it's the priests' fault that our children are obese.
