How long would it take them to *stop* ignoring artillery barrages after 
you've used this "hidden PGM" tactic once? (Ie., do they ignore them 
because they can't do anything much about them, or because they don't 
consider them to be enough of a threat?)

(SADARM seems to have been cancelled BTW, which surprised me a fair bit
- 
now it looks as if the US Army will have to buy either the
Swedish/French 
BONUS or the German SMArt 155 instead... seems a bit out-of-character
for 
the "NIH"-sensitive US :-/ )
