A missile was system named for 0bama?

Good thing the USS Liberty didn’t have to face that.

I wouldn’t put much faith in any system with a name like BARAK! Sounds to similar to Barack & we ALL KNOW he was in no way, shape, or form anything but disrespectful of our military AND Israel in general. Better served naming the system the Trump-45!!

Barack 8 what?

Ships are always referred to by their crew in the feminine gender but that ship is obviously male.

I may be wrong, but I believe "Barak" means lightning in Hebrew.

At least that's what I remember from the discussions about the meaning of Barack Obama's name.
