What makes SAS great. More traning less electronics.

All this technology distracts from the fundamental ugliness and cruelty and stupidity of war. The acronyms help objectify things so they are further away from any human or moral consideration - everything gets focussed on the interesting requirements and deliverables of equipment. In reality, war is about official deception of men conned into it, then fear, boredome, cruel injuries & disablement, fear and indelible guilt on both sides. Mechanical man, the fall-guy, and the families injured.

Good stuff for URBAN COMBAT~ period, not good for jungles and the like, there are such things as hackers. Old-school first and foremost all that other shit is just niffty, until they out wit it.

@muunboy2007 They did cancel the project because it was too expensive and it did not work as hoped, and now when the fights is in Afghanistan this system is useless there.

@NallePu83 green berets and other us spec ops learn how to use the electronics. and what to do when they fail. like if their gps fails. then they can use a map with a compass.

The hopefully stopped it because they figured out it didn't work in A'stan.

Oh yeah they progressed. It may be delayed a bit because of the budget cuts, but it will still come to a battlefield near you.

[darkstaruav]

As of the last inspection, 100% of hardware and software is on schedule in development and currently meeting all budget restrictions. In fact, they have been progressing slightly faster than previously thought. Defense secretary Robert Gates has considered canceling a small part of the program, some $230 million, out of the total $340 billion.

[muunboy2007]

I have a question, it may seem silly, but how far have they progressed now in 2009? or has the system been secretly cancelled?

don't insult me for my question please.

[shastadude13]
