Nice... American Special Operations forces used a specially designed secret missile to kill the head of a Qaeda affiliate in Syria this month, dealing the terrorist group a serious blow with a weapon that combines "medieval brutality with cutting-edge technology."

Thanks COL Charles Williams! I wish the NYT hadn't editorialized with the word, "medievel." The missile is designed to prevent innocent casualties, so it has no explosive warhead. But it also kills the intended target instantly. There is no pain, no anguish, no torture. An enemy is just dead.
