And now I'm downranking you for being a lying dumbass. In the unlikely event that your brother is indeed a Marine with 3 kills, 2 purple hearts, and the Congressional Medal of Honor you are still a dork, sitting comfortably at home, invoking your brother's sacrifices on a topic of little importance to our freedoms.

I'm pretty sure that any real Marines in this thread want to kick your ass at this point: Probably your theoretical brother too. ]]>Oct 16th 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/u-s-army-ignores-our-advice-outfits-troops-with-redfly-termina/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/u-s-army-ignores-our-advice-outfits-troops-with-redfly-termina/
b/c anyone that wants a non-mutitasking device with applications that must be distributed from a public store on the field deserves to be downranked...

Let me check my GPS coordinates.... whoops just closed out of my medical handbook, or terminal program, or [insert any other application you might need here] FAIL

Army: Lets create a mission briefing/progress application...and then distribute it thorugh the Apple App store so the whole world has access to it. FAIL

This is how government contracting works: you sell government some stupid idea, then make money out of it until the next bidding in 5 years...

I don't mean the idea must always be stupid/unnecessary, it just doesn't matter for government contracting.]]>Oct 16th 2009 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/u-s-army-ignores-our-advice-outfits-troops-with-redfly-termina/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/u-s-army-ignores-our-advice-outfits-troops-with-redfly-termina/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WazA77xcf0A]]>Oct 16th 2009 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/u-s-army-ignores-our-advice-outfits-troops-with-redfly-termina/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/u-s-army-ignores-our-advice-outfits-troops-with-redfly-termina/Oct 17th 2009 6:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/u-s-army-ignores-our-advice-outfits-troops-with-redfly-termina/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/u-s-army-ignores-our-advice-outfits-troops-with-redfly-termina/
