No defense is fool proof. The Japanese of all people should know this based on their past military history. I know this is a bad example but one only needs to look at old combat footage of the kamikaze attacks. You can see that American carriers, battleships, destroyers, etc. would fill the sky with anti-aircraft fire against a single kamikaze plane and the plane would still get through and hit its’ target with devastating results. The problem with any elaborate defense system is that people begin to believe that it’s impregnable and soon develop a Maginot Line mentality.

The Japanese better not miss.

That’s all I have to say.

Meanwhile, Obama and Hillary tell the world, that U.S. is doing more to disarm, and do away with defense technology, because everything in the world is the U.S fault, hoping that other countries will follow us. It really sucks when you have so many 3rd world countries that believe suicide feels good and is honorable.

Wow – three missile defense comments in two days. The PAC-3 works well enough (wish it had a lethality enhancer and not just HTK). Just depends on a) Q of PAC-3s and b) Q of incoming missiles. One can overwhelm the PAC-3 system (C&C issue, so I hear) but, I doubt NK has the requisite quantities of nuclear and/or launch capability to overwhelm the Japanese (PAC-3 and/or SM-3) anyway…

Wonder what ever happened to those Nikes (nuclear-tipped) and Hawks missiles on Okinawa after the reinstatement?

Looks like the japs are falling in the same sinkhole the US of KKKA is in……not realizing that defense is futile since it only inflames the innocent targets by damaging their fragile self esteem.

Not only does the Japanese MDS work LD, but it get’s 35 mpg & comes with a 100,000 mile warranty.
