    "The dazzler emits a powerful stream of green light that stops or redirects oncoming traffic by temporarily impairing the driver's vision. Without it, troops have to open fire when warning signals are ignored or not seen."

                      It is such a surprise that more readers have not commented on this story. One would think there are more that 20 or 25 Americans on the internet right now.
