Yup we cannot manage to put self destruct mechanism in our satellites but the Chi-cons can get it into code we have reviewed.

Speaking of self destruct...only the GOP would do something like this in an election year. Don’t they watch the news? Haven’t they heard The Dems promise to review Nafta and other free trade agreements in order to win votes in the crucial state of Ohio?

Have you ever tried to review lines of code to look for mistakes?

I dabbled breifly in programming a few years ago, and it was tough to find mistakes in a couple hundred lines of code.

Now, think of the millions of lines of code it’d take for operating one of those jets. Even if we did review it, something might be missed. The enemies of the United States are sneaky, and despite what we’d like to think, we aren’t invincible...and we can be fooled.

(I personally hated typing that, but that is the truth.)
