What are you talking about? Aesthetic?

I would like to see the logistics on recharging the tags and then redistributing them. seems like it would add a lot of extra work that could be applied elsewhere.]]>Jul 18th 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/18/darpa-moves-ahead-with-electronic-tags-for-soldiers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/18/darpa-moves-ahead-with-electronic-tags-for-soldiers/Jul 18th 2008 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/18/darpa-moves-ahead-with-electronic-tags-for-soldiers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/18/darpa-moves-ahead-with-electronic-tags-for-soldiers/Jul 18th 2008 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/18/darpa-moves-ahead-with-electronic-tags-for-soldiers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/18/darpa-moves-ahead-with-electronic-tags-for-soldiers/Jul 18th 2008 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/18/darpa-moves-ahead-with-electronic-tags-for-soldiers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/18/darpa-moves-ahead-with-electronic-tags-for-soldiers/

I just read through the presentation. Location is accurate to 70 FEET.

and @ averyone else who said its a sick comment.. try an pull your head out of you ass for three seconds lighten up and have a think.. you have an area full of people with guns, bombs, grenades, things that go bang... Obviously not designed to give people on the reciving end a comforting massage...

What do you THINK is going to happen??

if you cant have a laugh at that comment, then I guess you have never enjoyed an action movie on TV either where someone gets blownup. Oh, thats ok because it was the 'bad guy' that gets blown up... or "not one of ours"
