Real simple - the NKers send up a missile on a "test", we shoot it down with our BMD systems as a "test".

I like that. A lot.

No you don't want to do that. Then the enemy gets to see how your system works and learn to counter it. Instead we should be shooting missiles over the North Korean pennisula just like the shoot them over Japan. Let them react to US.
