Laser designation as become almost commonplace on today's (well, tonight's) battlefield. I honestly hadn't given them much thought other than I knew I didn't want to be on the embarrassing end of one until my buddy Ray came home on leave a couple years back. Ray's a JTAC. He'd spent a great deal of time using an IZLID to demonstrate the folly of inappropriate behavior to assorted villains in Afghanistan.

I like the following video as a demo, though what knucklehead decided to bring Call of Duty into it, or call rockets missiles I don't know.
