This is just plain scary.

Unproven missile defense systems? Like the one that just shot down a satellite last week? You know satellites, those things that China is now deploying?

LOL@ you for thinking that was a missile defense system.

Gen. James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (and former commander of Strategic Command, the agency that runs the missile-defense program's operations), said at a Pentagon press briefing on Thursday, the SM-3 had been "modified" to shoot down the satellite. As reconfigured, he said, it was "not a missile defense system." The two tasks "do not correlate." The profile of the target and the nature of the intercept were "very different."

One reporter asked, "Does the whole episode then add to the knowledge that could be used or applied to missile defense at all?"

Cartwright replied, "Other than netting the sensors together, which is what we used for missile defense"—and which has been tried out in many previous missile-defense tests—"not really. I mean, it doesn't cross over."[/

It sounds like you are confusing the difference betweeen what you think and what the military in general thinks.
