    Looks like the weapons strategies for "war" are about to
    become more complex.

    My understanding of such technology is that it would allow
    the relatively painless termination of human lives (vs.
    nuclear weapons where the heat produced is likely to produce
    burn victims). Rafal, Aubrey or anyone else should correct
    my impressions if you believe they are incorrect.

    Please remember that I am looking at *strategies* here
    [for explanation, perhaps see [1]] and not actually
    things we "should" do. But understanding what we might
    do and why we might do them might better guide future
    paths forward.
