They should also try to work more on making a ground-based laser that has the range to shoot down missiles far away and base them on islands in the Pacific Ocean, and if the United States owns any, islands in the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. That method could eventually be cheaper than this missile-shooting-down-missile one, so even if a very “wealthy opponent” lobs missile after missile this way, the cost of destroying them could be cheaper than the cost to the foreign power to shoot the missiles.
Do you mean a “Laser?” Perhaps we could get the Navy to arm sharks with them...then we wouldn’t need islands *snicker*
Many thanks for finally coaxing me to join in.
For starters - ground based lasers - way cool,
would remind me of the original “Defenders”
arcade game with the track ball.
As for your tagline and offer for comment,
the New Testament usually has its roots in
something from the Old...
Look at Leviticus 17:13-14 for a possible
explanation...
13 ¶ And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
14 ¶ For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
Again thanks for nudging me to dip my foot in... The water
is just fine...
