I make a simple request: >>Cite a trustworthy source of such a "report". > Also, if a person works in the R&D for a missile, you know the paper > work a person signs keeps that person from giving too many details, > unless they would like to be charge with Treason. It's not limited to R&D. And it's not the paperwork that a person signs, it's the security clearance they possess that protects such information. And while violating one's clearance would subject them to potentially serious penalties, the nature of the violation would have to be quite egregious to rise to the level of Treason. >> Any "outdated system" that works is better than one that exists only as >> a proposal or in theory. > > Yes, outdated.

(I know I'm playing a fool's game, but it's a holiday weekend so I figure 'what the hell?' :-) You are so phenomenally ignorant of missile technology that it's laughable. Actually, it's not the ignorance that's laughable, it's your pretentiousness in supposing yourself in any way knowledgeable enough in this area to go into a public forum--albeit using your silly pseudonym--and declaim upon matters of which every word demonstrates your ignorance. I give you points for chutzpah, not many are willing to publicly proclaim their ignorance with such verve and vigor! Marc A. Criley
