Richard "Mack" Mackowicz, the American who kills the bad guys, promoting the Stryker vehicle

It is important that young Americans accept to engage in the war in Iraq, they must be convinced that they will be there equipped with such equipment that they will practically not be in danger. Arms manufacturers do not spare anything, which is much more than just an advertisement aimed at their government and politicians. Mack, with a shaved head and a black shirt, who would have easily found his place in the Italian fascist troops or the Nazi death squads, presents the equipment.

As explained by Mack, the gear of the soldier of the third millennium includes a large stock of batteries and sophisticated electronic equipment

The soldier's helmet includes a viewer that projects an image of the battlefield with the positions of the targets. The war must look like a video game

**Inside the vehicle, a screen shows the map and the position of the friends, thanks to GPS. **

GPS stands for Ground Positioning System. Its introduction during the first war in Kuwait gave American soldiers a great advantage on the battlefield. Today hundreds of thousands and soon millions of vehicles are equipped with GPS guidance systems. These systems transmit the vehicle's position via satellite. Installed in a helmet or a vest, it can signal to a battlefield management system the position of each soldier.

This GPS-based space management system has been extended to civil (and military) aviation. This system also exists on all modern gliders. It indicates the position of a nearby glider by lighting LEDs, shows in which direction it is and whether it is higher or lower. It is an anti-collision system. Above is the military version, much more precise (within a meter). Thanks to this equipment, the American soldier feels monitored at every moment.

It is necessary to reassure the Americans, when there are weapons like the Russian Sunburn supersonic cruise missile, a "carrier killer"
