Re: "What is eluding you is that defense is as much or more determined by what you have than by those who might oppose you."

>>> No. Threat Assessment is necessary.

>>> Note: You still haven't answered my question of "who we are 'catching up to' with increased defense spending"... or "what utility Star Wars will have against Rider trucks, or terrorists smuggled in on cargo containers".

>>> More, and better, defense if GOOD, but cost-benefit analysis must be applied. Money is never unlimited. For example: could a more effective defense be provided by different programs, or different strategy?
