Well, whilst the scene may be far more gory; having your skin microwaved off doesn't make you any *more* dead than, say, having your barin pulverised by a small slug of metal travelling at supersonic speed (i.e. being shot with a gun).
i guess it'll make clearing cave complexes easier (just zap the mountain with a big microwave dish), though i get the feeling that those daisy-cutter fuel-air bombs that are all the rage in Afghanistan do a pretty effective job of that too.
It is, of course, sickening when any new technology of death is developed. But we mustn't let us blind us to how sickening our existing technologies of death already are.
