did someone say "al Qaeda" and "September 11"?	Not to mention the KV.

> Target identification is a separate issue - you still have the
problem of ID whether you are shooting a Class 10 beam, a 2000 lbs PGM
or a class 5 HEL.  Is it an armory or a hospital?  Are those reporters
with abig camera or enemy infantry with an ATGM?  The only difference
is scale - at one end you end up with a single dead friendly, at the
other, maybe a couple of thousand.  If you are having trouble ID'ing
targets, you might want to stay away from the large scale stuff.

So you send up an infantryman to see what it is.
