The Marines prior to even the Korean war had developed radio controlled/dropped munitions that could be dropped from 20,000 feet onto unseen targets within 50 yards accuracy. This stuff wasn't completely unavailable

The AN-MPQ-14 and the AN-TPQ-10

Though agreed that something different from the current generation lazing would be great.

read in First to Fight: An Inside View of the U.S. Marine Corps, googlebooks has it, and the entire "The Marine's Push Button" chapter is about its development

What I started wondering isn't this joke a bit too old to stay unlocked. So finally I decided to peek here...

Damn you, you double agents!

Hahaha all PR did was put a news post about something serious... you all did all the work in your little brains all by yourselves!

We simply planted a seed and waited for a few of you to snowball this into a big april fools joke you all thought you solved :P
