Many analysts, however, have cast doubt on whether missile defense systems can reliably shoot down incoming missiles, and they criticize the program for drawing funds away from other areas of defense spending. I'll take my chances .. having this system is better then nothing

No I think they might have a point. To reliably shoot down missiles we should have about 100 aegis cruisers sporting sm3's instead of 14 (12 I think with sm2.) Let's cut some social pork spending and get on the ball.

You read the authors (and some analysts) intention correctly. I was just being a bit silly, turning the argument on its head and expressing my support for a system that I think will work, not to mention that it is built on a beautiful platform.

67. Interesting number...
To: jdm
About time the Japaneese become a nuke country so they can protect themselves against the N.Koreans and the chi-coms.
Maybe South Korea sould go nuke also. It is the game the Chi-coms and little chia kim have been playing, about time they have something to fear too.

"it's also real fast... 50+ knots"
I think only the old PT boats could do 50+ knots, in my humble non-expert opinion
