    Somewhere in here there's a joke about how due to cutbacks the military is having to resort to gold/Isk farming.

    @dOk: The US Military fears no Permaban. By the time they figure it out, it will already be too late. The entire server will be filled with US Ninja Bots.

    What is there in WoW to really infiltrate?

    "Thanks for helping me kill that boss"

    "You're welcome, but guess what? IMMABOT! Suckah!"

    I wonder if they can use the holographic soldiers in the battlefield as decoys against the enemies.


    Although I can imagine that it's impossible to setup the equipment on the road and to project the image in an instant.

    I can just imagine some General watching CNN on election night, then grabbing a phone and screaming "What the fuck is this! CNN has holograms and I don't?! Make me holograms now, damnit!"
