To borrow a Tribsey term, bollox.
I could support your opinions if we weren't sending our troops into hostile areas and the were littering the training areas with bomblets, but as long as we are sending them off the foreign climes to wage war on other forces we should give them the tools they need to do the job. I doubt that anyone can honestly say that cluster bombs didn't get the job done, maybe not all of the bomblets explode but they still fufil their capability.
The problem isn't with the military and their toys it's with politicians sending them to places where they will come into contact with civilians.
Oh, and modern weapons actually have a small impact on the environment and the military as a whole can be argued to have a positive effect.
