These hybrid plane-chopper things have been a disaster so far. I don't see how this would be realistic. Science fiction.

From the article it seems more like a flyable Humvee. That is, primarily supposed to be driven but can take off vertically in emergencies (IEDs, etc.). Still being developed right now, doing feasibility studies on the design, but DARPA seems serious about wanting one of these for production.

The practicality of it in modern warfare is obvious.

Another killing machine. We got enough of those to kill everything. Looks like another money pit. Warfare is the Shepard, society is the sheep.

I read a article on Yahoo the other day that covered if certain "Halo Style" weapons were scientifically possible/likely to ever appear in real life. I can't find the article now but they talked about a laser style gun being tested that wouldn't be fatal but inflict large amounts of pain.

No, we need this to stop the terrorists. Without floating humvees our freedom is in mortal danger.
