What do they do with it?
It does worry me somewhat the amount of money continental Europe spends on their armies. Because they dont do anything with them.
If they sent some stuff over to Afghanistan and actually did something that would be nice.
Barracuda skydroid to make comeback?
The German and Spanish killbot industries, struggling to recover from the loss of the "Barracuda" demonstrator plane, which crashed last year, might be saved by the German government.

The armed forces have made several clever (?) additions to jargonese, such as 'modern battlespace', 'integrated technologies', and even 'socio-political topography', which must be hard to say while you're shooting enemy ragheads.

As any interlligent life form will already know, comics are like porn for kids, (right?). So using their vocab will define your readership, who I suspect are getting all excited by the Star Trek stuff.
Which makes the Reg like porn for nerds..
