"altruistically marketed hypocrisy" is > a perfect description of that sub. Nah, just a system designed for a Cold War that went away that still had some service life left in it and they figured could be useful for other stuff. The US armed services have recently been directed by new laws and executive orders to look for alternative uses of military technology. > The only thing the military researches is death and oppression. Gee, I must have slept through the oppression classes when I was in. I guess I just misunderstood. All the time I thought I was training to kill oppressors I was supposed to be training to kill and oppress. Oops :-) I guess all the survivors of concentration camps that were liberated by allied forces in WWII felt really oppressed by being freed. And the Panamanians, and the Kuwatis more recently. I hear the oppression R&D budget is way down this year anyway, though, so you can sleep a little more soundly. :-) > Rick +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Please send messages for the WreckDiver list to: wreckdiver@wreckdiver.com Send subscription and help requests to: wreckdiver-request@wreckdiver.com +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
