War is never outdated. Until we can respect one another fully, war is a necessity

[jamesturbo123]

@lordwoz its not used against people, its used against incomming missiles, so actually its saving people :) ( dumbass)

I'm pretty sure a multimullion dollar missile would auto-correct if it's off course. You'd probably need to destroy it altogether.

[MorganMan09]

It's not like it stops the rocket immediately....it's moving at hundreds of miles an hour. It obviously destroyed the missile though, if you look at the heat signature before and after.
