The Army’s Secret Rope of Explosives That Clears a Path for War

It looks like a simple rope, but it’s actually packed with hundreds of pounds of C4 and launched by rocket to carve safe lanes through minefields. Meet MICLIC and its mini cousin MINILIC — the hidden, high-risk tools combat engineers use to blast paths for troops, even when failure means running toward live explosives.

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.

C S Lewis
