The U.S. Marine Corps is taking a few notes out of Dr. Evil’s playbook and now wants to mount lasers on everything in its inventory—just as soon as they can figure out how.

According to ArsTechnica, the commanding general of the Marine Corps’ Combat Development Command, Lt. General Robert Walsh, informed defense reporters that “directed energy weapons” were the direction the Marines were headed. Or, basically, that lasers are the shit, because they totally are.

If you can power it, you don't have to carry ammo...

How do they do in blowing dust and bad weather, though?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
