To those talking about us having a low military funding, correct me if i'm wrong but isn't our military spend something like the 4th biggest in the world? I know the media always report of cut backs etc.. but we do spend a massive amount on the military compared to countries of similar size.

I imagine the special ops and SAS guys have uber-tech, but a lot of it probably isn't really that much use to your average Joe on the front line, so they don't get it.

I'd imagine our GPS/google image satelite quality has been available to the military at least 10 years ago, so imagine the resolution they have now :shock:

Maybe their OSs are like the ones you see in those spooks dramas that look nothing like Windows?

I read up on Wiki a few days ago and apparently they should be in use in about 20-25 years, or something. But how accurate are these estimates anyway?

I know for a fact that military GPS has always been more accurate than civilian GPS.

Same satellites, I believe, but a different signal.
