THE GRIM REAPERS
By NEIL GRAVES, Wires
'July 16, 2007 -- The war on terror will soon get even scarier for America's enemies - the United States is on the verge of unleashing its best pilotless aircraft yet, the Reapers.
The robot killers from the sky - a step up from the current Predators - will be tracking down enemy fighters from 50,000 feet up.
The Reaper is outfitted with infrared, laser and radar targeting capability and packs a ton and a half of guided bombs and missiles.
The drone, like the others in the Air Force's arsenal, is to be piloted by personnel half a world away in a Nevada bunker.
The Reaper's first combat deployment is expected in Afghanistan, senior Air Force officers say, and it will be assigned to Iraq sometime between this fall and next spring.'
Wow - Kurt Vonnegut's Gutless Wonder finally exists............
The Gutless wonder is a robot designed to drop Napalm on people without guilt. He can dance and wow the ladies but has bad breath. They eventually cure his bad breath and everyone is happy. He continues to drop napalm, dance and wow the ladies... all without the halitosis.
Don't worry, we are assured US pilots will not be out of work, bombing things when reapers take to sky.
AND SO IT GOES.................................
