But Why Would the US Military Want to Scare Us Like That?

Maybe to enlist more people? Maybe to scare up support for an expensive war in Iraq that, by many accounts, we’re losing (lives, money, and goals).

A recent advertisement by the US Air Force suggests that all your cell phone, GPS, and television viewing joy can be killed by a single missile. Fortunately for those of us living on Earth, that’s not actually true. Thanks, Wired, for pointing out the many, many flaws with this latest scare-mongering nonsense.
