Yep, that's the nutjob's site all right and it looks like he's still giving misleading information to push his own agenda.

For example, he's written "We have an incredible array of batteries to power our night vision devices yet NO WAY TO RECHARGE THEM". Now I am not certain about the latest NVDs because I haven't used them (and I haven't bothered to do a google search) but all the personal NVDs I'd used in the 1980s-1990s were US made and powered by the very common AA battery - certainly not "an incredible array" by any stretch of the imagination.**

And although some of the other things in that article show how little attention Spark's pays to the practical side of a soldier's job (e.g. how often does Sparks think soldiers have the time on operations to use a hand crank to recharge some batteries?) a lot of the material is certainly suitable for T2k use.

** I'm talking specifically about smallarms weapon scopes and goggles, the larger devices typically had (no surprise!) much larger batteries/battery packs.
