The Politics of Fame (and Fortune) Versus the Polemics of Governance (and Government)

I think the title sums up, in a nutshell, all that has transpired and been revealed publicly in the course of the latest spat between the two most prominent and reknown politicians and their two most bitter and resentful rivals. http://www.straitstimes.com/Free/Story/STIStory_241413.html Clearly, there should be no question as to who can ever be innocent in this case.  There are no saints in this discourse.  When the bigwigs avail themselves in their personal capacities, and at the same time have no regard whatsoever to relinquish themselves of their assumed positions of moral character, to the extent of heaping upon layers of legal armour - that is serious cause for warranting the public disdain of their conduct, and much less of those of lesser means.

Future Weapons from Israel

A complete episode special on novel defence technologies coming out of the the land of Israel in her desperate struggle for survival against the threat of destruction and terror. Amongst the items presented includes one with heavy influence from Singapore - the MATADOR shoulder launched weapon system.

Future Weapons - Bushmaster Mk44 (with Air-Burst Capabilty)

Image
Recent developmental and soon to be introduced new capability for the growing lethality of the ATK Bushmaster Mk44 30mm Chain Gun. Definitely a highly valued add-on improvement to our Mk44-equipped Bionix 2's main armament.

Future Weapons - Infantry Automatic Rifle (IAR)

Image
This is US-made and US-bred contender (from Land Warfare Resources Corporation) against our (ST Kinetics') Ultimax 100 Mk V for the United States Marine Corps' new IAR requirement - the replacement programme for the ubiquitous M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW). Video includes introduction snippet from Future Weapons.
