36. I, for one, celebrate the introduction of non-lethal options.

It seems far preferable to MOABs and machine guns.

We should be supporting that non-lethal options are being pursued by the DoD. This device was brought into service after the bombing of the USS Cole and has been used to deter small craft attacks since about 2000. So really it's not like we are testing it in Iraq.

We sit here and complain about killing people needlessly, and here we have another option, and we complain about that, too. Huh?
