Well then, as you're so ethical you'll be throwing all your 21 century technology & especially all digital technology you currently use to virtue signal in the bin huh? Your next smarmy post can be snail mailed in!.

The uncomfortable fact is that almost all digital technology society takes for granted is born of military needs. Fact Finder is providing some very pertinent evidence of military take up of BRN technology. This will eventually translate to commercial technology. Like it or not, this is how the military industrial complex is embedded in society. This is how the world works.

For example.
Silicone chips/integrated circuits were required for missles and precision guided bombs. The US military provided the research and development funding to companies such as Texas instruments and Fairchild semiconductor. The first successful laser guided munition was used to destroy a bridge at the end of the Vietnam war using these companies products. Considering that this particular bridge was surrounded by some 1800 bomb craters & the first laser guided bomb fired at it was a direct hit, this was a very very big deal. Anyway, these companies morphed into Intel & other chip manufacturers.

And another.

The GPS you so happily take for granted is a direct result of the minuteman missle program. If you are unaware of the precision & destructive power of a minuteman missile I suggest you may want to have a look.
