I like the part where it says...

"A new development will reportedly see the WASP fitted with a C4 explosive warhead for kamikaze attacks on snipers. One newspaper dubbed it "The Talibanator."

That would suck to be on the receiving end of one of those.
It would be bad enough to have US troops shooting at you...even worse to have to watch out for bugs.
