Laser dazzler

This is a different kind of laser weapon -- a nonlethal one. The Green Laser Escalation of Force (GLEF) system is meant to dazzle rather than inflict injury, making it hard for a combatant to aim a weapon or for a civilian to inadvertently wander too close to a checkpoint where deadly force might be employed. The U.S. Army sent GLEF kits to Afghanistan for evaluation in 2010. Similar systems had earlier been used in the war in Iraq.
