I remember when we had a successful ASAT weapon test. Then it disappeared. Or did it?
Of course, now we have new ASAT capabilities since long ago.
I think we did the “Desert Warfare” a couple of times....

Charged Particles, Mr. Muntz?
Yeah, I was pretty sure SM-3 had ASAT capability but couldn’t remember where I learned about it.
Mine are mostly 40, 60 and 75 watts bulbs. I can’t find incandescent bulbs anywhere now in Indiana.
This is all the more reason for him and his country to be wiped off the face of the earth. Anyone who would seriously threaten such a catastrophe should not walk this mortal plane.
