Its really too bad that all you professed pro-military types don't really understand the concepts you so readily support. The truth is you
have already provided the answer as to why its of little benefit to build a star wars.....


Ted,

OK...I admit it, I am stumped. What is the answer to which you refer that so readily escapes me too?

...and why it was not built when it first was proposed.

I always assumed that it was not built because the technology was not yet developed.

Re <<I have no idea what an ICBM is. Thank you for pointing that out.>>

You are very welcomed,

I did not defend the existing technology or claimed to have any insight as into why it would or would not be feasible. I was emphasizing the need for such a technology to be developed if possible.

You were the one that said such a technology already exists so there is no reason to duplicate it. I see that you have corrected yourself.
