Daily YouTube – Thermal vs Night Vision vs Flash Light

[TheHossUSMC points out the difference between thermal, night vision, and a flash light. For those of us that watch too much television and/or haven't had any military experience, this video gives some good examples of why thermal optics would be even more useful than night vision in some situations as well as why both would be superior to a simple flash light. The moral of the story is: if you have a lot of money then buy fancy gadgets!]
