T. Thanks for the comments.....

Yes, costs (ammo) alone justify VR. systems, with the military. From a peostri article:

"Dean Lockwood, a weapons systems analyst with ForecastInternational, told MT2 that the greatest contribution made bysimulations could be the amount of money the services havesaved on ammunition costs. "Probably the most importantimpact that [simulations] is having is, by using simulations,the services are not using ammunition," Lockwood said. "Youfigure over the last four years now, supplying enough ammuni-tion has been a real issue."For example, the U.S. Army's demand for small caliberammunition increased from 426 million rounds in 2001 to 1.5billion rounds in 2006, according to the Joint Munitions Com-mand at the Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois. As far as expendi-tures, the U.S. government spent $688 million on ammunitionlast year, up from $242 million in 2001."

Believe that Obama, just like the military get's the idea that assymetrical warfare can't be trained for simply on a firing line.

Thanks for keeping the board alive, Terroy.
