War crime, next slide.

Did you not see the sign?

I point over our heads to a grand gateway arched emblazoned with the words "The War Crimes Water Park: The Jewel Of Texas"

The only water slides here... are war crime themed ones?

Remember? We got rid of the dinosaur themed ones because those were proven to be leftwing conspiracy theories dreamed up by sick people who wanted to convince kids Jesus doesn't exist by luring them in with fantastically shaped monsters while making huge profits off merchandising on it (You think the person clearly behind this's REAL name is George Soros? Sheep! You think he is jewish?? No! His real name is clearly George Saurus! He is a pretend Dinosaur spreading lies!). We also got rid of the Tsunami one because it was clearly leftwing anarchist extremist Climate Change coded propaganda. Keep up with the times!

Dammit! Sorry for the friendly fire, I feel terrible when I accidentally pun down a fellow soldier of irony in the line of comments. The guts of your beautiful living gif are lettered all over the ground.

No, this is preparation for a war crime.

The heat gun has existed since the 2000s, and heats using microwave beams so the moisture just under your skin heats up.

But so far no ones used it on the public to my knowledge. My guess is Hegseth will have a bunch made for when the election related riots kick off.

Here's some footage of the system (called 'active denial') from 18 years ago:

Metal and anything else that blocks microwaves can protect protestors, but just like microwaves the pain can slip through cracks just millimeters thick.

There is a setting on the device that will literally cook you alive in your own skin.

Again, to cook a crowd of people alive on the street, dead, you just turn the power knob to that setting

There is a reason the military never deployed this, even in a war zone.

Because of bad optics, but I guess there are now enough openly inhuman and bloodthirsty "core Americans" who support this for this to be actually good optics all things considered?
