Intensely Insane

A major naval exercise off the coast of Scotland has been ordered to stop using GPS jamming technology after complaints it is endangering the lives of fishermen and is disrupting mobile phones.

The Nato exercise, dubbed ‘Joint Warrior’, involves the military forces from 14 countries and is taking place off the west coast of Scotland. As part of the operation, Global Positioning System (GPS) services were jammed in a radius of 20 miles around the various warships.

Let me get this straight: The NATO does jam THEIR OWN navigation system? What good is a military navigation system one can only use in times of peace? Just how intensely insane is that? Unless of course it is all about the profit the MIC can make from all that shiny hardware…
