So then that would be at a slightly higher EIRP than 1 mW per cm2 ???

Wouldn't work against Aussie troops, we have tin foil hats and SPF 15+.
A little Slip Slap Slop [1] would foil those dastardly  Bolshevik's or
[insert enemy of the day here]. :P 

Added to that the Zinc Cream (as well as reflecting the RF in harmful
quantities) would dazzle the bad guys with it's Day-Glo pink "I'm so
Gay" colouring that they would all immediately find the closest wall to
support with their posteriors to prevent the possibility of a fate worse
than death.
