Wasn't there some research on bombs that killed people but left the structures and building intact? Do they exist? Or was it all fiction? DD
It'd be cool if they had something that did the reverse. Destroyed buildings but left the people inside intact!
Lil - I was just about to post that exact link. Sounds like they are not as effective as people would like. DD
I prefer the medieval form of the neutron bomb, known as the siege. Surround the city, starve the population and just walk right in when everyone is either dead or too weak to fight.
"One significant drawback of the weapon is that not all targeted troops will die or be incapacitated immediately. After a brief bout of nausea, many of those hit with about 5-50 Sv of radiation will experience a temporary recovery lasting days to weeks. It has been suggested that these troops, knowing that they are likely to die soon anyway, may fight fanatically, without the usual regard for their own well-being."
I am not sure about this part, I would think that if they knew they were probably going to die, they should go out and PARTY like it is 1999. DD
nah.. that's the american way of thinking. it's for queen and country my friend. (yes, i know you're joking)
