In addition, the Patriot systems pre-dated SDI. I suppose you could argue that when they updated the radar in the 1980s it was SDI technology. But then you would have to argue that radar and computer technology would not have advanced without SDI.

The software in the Patriot system is a DIRECT DESCENDANT of SDI technology. And there is NO REASON, WHATSOEVER, to believe these devices would have developed with SDI.

Clueless. You guys are so caught up in liberal dogma that you are blind to the facts.

Idiot. The early "Patriots" were not even remotely similar, in design or purpose, to the Patriot systems of today.

Geez.
