Every measure has a potential counter-measure. By the time our enemies have it, we will have perfected the counter-measure. The game isn't "who has the best gadgets." It is "who has the will and the wealth to continue to run the race of scientific R&D the fastest and the longest."

This makes me nervous. The fact is: the US Armed Forces are more dependent on electronics than any other country, and this is the last weapon we ought to want to see being used. All of these weapons become available to others after a while. Every measure has a potential counter-measure. By the time our enemies have it, we will have perfected the counter-measure.

Why would it make you nervous? Most everything we have abtained in the last 100yrs has been available to others eventually. We saved many American lives in WWII with nuclear weapons, other countries have them now, however they didn't have them at the time. It was an American life saving tool which worked to end the war. We don't depend on electronics, we use them as a tool and asset, and we are the best at doing so.
Yes, I agree PC! Everything does have a counter. I agree, it is a race and with our R&D we will always win that race. If we stiffled technology because of concern of who may abtain it evetually we would all still be living in caves!
