Stupid Cluster Bombs

I am sick of reading stories of innocent civis being massacared by bomblets. How hard is it to install a radio reciever set to a certain frequency designed to detonate the ordinace with a thermal device? Any cargo aircraft could be rigged with a powerful carrier signal that would detonate them given the correct frequency and duration. Give the public a warning that the sweep will begin and several square kilometers could be covered in one pass. UXOs need to be of higher quality so they will do what they are supposed to do. Some money needs to be spent by the IDF if they want to use this system in civilian areas.:(

Have you reported your idea's through your chain of command? I'd imagine it would carry more weight, than proposing the idea on a public website...

This is a matter of budgets and political will. No one has the inclination to listen unless it wins political support. I support anti-land mine policies along with anti-cluster munitions. The command says they support it and the use of such has been rather limited in USAF/USN usage of dummy cluster bombs. I only dropped one in my whole career. The IDF on the other-hand is the one who has a disregard for these policies. Southern Lebanon is the prime example. It isn't the sparsly populated mountains of Afghanistan, it is a densly populated urban area. I am suprised at the IDFs lack of discretion when using these weapons. :lul

I guess having to pick up their woman and children piece by piece, after theyv been bombed at birthday parties and discos, has kind of hardened them.

There is no excuse for using anti-personel bomblets in downtown Beirut... none
