Missile Defense

Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a "Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense initiatives more successful? Can such an application of science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable, necessary or impossible?

It's June 1st, Robketchpburger is on my ignore list and all is fine with the world. You we may not need regime changes if we can convince certain bully nations that it is in their best interests to eschew nuclear weapons.

Of course, when we launch our ABL {aka Death Star} we can fry them if they don't accept suggestions!

Couldn't help but notice that rshow55, lchic, mazza9, and jorian319 NEVER ACTUALLY SERVED IN THE MILITARY UNDER ANY CAPACITY, BUT DON'T SEEM TO HAVE MUCH OF A PROBLEM IN ATTEMPTING TO DISCREDIT THOSE WHO HAVE!
