Luke 8:30
And Jesus asked him, saying, "What is thy name?" And he said, "Legion": because many devils were entered into him.

"Anonymous & lacking any sort of perspective on the real world beyond their naive cyber idealism. "
That's a little unfair. They have a different perspective to you, they don''t lack one. You may call them naive, but they might call you cynical, conformist and jaded (or probably just g#y, some of them lack real insulting skills). As for idealism, everyone has idealism to some degree or other, even you.

Anon usually attacks when it has perceived issues with the group it attacks, always for lols as a side bonus (though it used to be primarily for lols, this has evolved as the "Disorganisation" has aged).

What did Mexico do to piss them off, do you know?

When I first saw it I thought A-4, but then I looked it up and the A-4 has never been sold to Ghana. The L-29 has but the jet intakes are all wrong for a L-29 or for a MB-339(I must be blind today).

If you meant the L-39 Albatross then I am inclined to agree with you.

isn't that a Aermacchi MB-339, in Ghanan colours?
You really should put a disclaimer, picture is "stock image". :p

I imagine pieces raining all over the place, but the majority flying earthward like a brick. And a UAV operator wondering why he has lost control, with a scream of "Game over, man. Game over."

I think you may find that Aussies Military Personnel are every bit as Patriotic as US Military Personnel. "distinct national identity" is vital for cohesion, Aussies don't want to be mistaken for US Military Personnel. Canadians don't want to be mistaken for US Military Personnel. Brits don't want to be mistaken for US Military Personnel. USMC do not want to be mistaken for US Army. Special Forces don't want to be mistaken for RA.
Vanity is not the basis for this. Patriotism and Unit identity are at the core of most soldiers. The Uniform and Badges work together to display this.

Also when the USA does finally admit to everyone that is wants to rule the world, do you really want everyone wearing the same uniform? It would get really confusing.

You have to calibrate it on any subject that is tested or you are using a population average, which leads to real problems with false readings (both false positive and negative).

This in not cutting edge science here, it is a Hypothesis that has not even been tested under real world conditions. The testing was done with what sample size? from how many locations? what "racial" and ethnic groups were involved?

If two professional psychologists cannot agree on the meaning behind a facial expression expressed to a question (eg "he showed disgust at the question" is he disgusted by the question or that we asked it or in the phrasing of the question or any number of other possible reasons for disgust), then basing a computer program on one of the opinions is inherently flawed.

A polygraph is bad enough as a lie detector. This seems like the Rube Goldberg of lie detectors. It might get it right by accident, or it might fail to detect things most of the time.

MRI based lie detection is the most reliable (if limited) lie detector. You are limited to whether someone is lying about recognising a picture they are shown. But it doesn't help you figure out if they are guilty of anything except lying about having seen something before.

This is too complex to be computerised.

How can you guys go past the Armour article? It has breasts in it.

Christian, obviously you were alluding to feminising the armour. More of a corset look with the bouncies at the top or something more practical like this? http://www.truehearth.com/female_bp.jpeg?iact=hc&vpx=469&vpy=164&dur=1346&hovh=250&hovw=202&tx=110&ty=131&ei=ALarTaWEL47QsAP4vtX5DA&oei=9LWrTbC5JqbXiAKktYWYDw&page=2&tbnh=144&tbnw=108&start=23&ndsp=10&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:23

I agree totally, and not just because I'm male. Breast reduction is the wrong direction.

absolutely. As armies got bigger and guns got more prevalent, armour was left by the wayside. Now armies are getting smaller, armour becomes important again. And also important...breeding more soldiers.
