Navy Succeeds AGAIN with ABM Test
GO NAVY!
The Chief, being USNR retired, always is cheered by Naval successes!
I noteiced last week when there was a test failure of a land-based ABM system it was rather prominently reported by the MSM.
Now comes the Navy with another success in a long series of mostly successful testing, and the reportage is notable by its absence.
It is indeed curious, given all the concern of the libDems paying lip-service to "security" in all it's forms (resulting in such things as the drive for padding and helmets to ride a bicycle, etc. OSHA excesses, ya-da, ya-da), that there is such a rabid opposition to the concept of designing systems to DEFEND against attack!
Go figure. Of course, why expect reason in this from the left, when it is so much lacking by them in other areas also.
