Re: Lasers can't be defended against?

This goes back to the choice of what  we are modeling.	Armored warfare
in space, Naval warfare in space, air war in space, sub war in space,
etc.   Just as searchlights were used in naval warfare at nigh (WWI and
on occasion WW2) I could see someone positing significantly improved
active IR "searchlights" in ground or space warfare in the far future. 
I
don't personally suggest it but it is a possibility.
