A LASER?! I knew the US had been dabbling in this but figured there was no way a third world country like NK would be able to do it. Was this a targeting laser, like a scope? Or was it like a Star Wars destructive type weapon?
Strange, we might end up going into NK and face troops dressed up like storm troopers.

The laser is used as a weapon or a sight.It is used to blind an enemy at 2 or 3 miles away.Thats alright though,because our airforce now has goggles that block out the damaging rays.
