But they <i><b>could</b></i> be used for hardened targets, like some nuclear enrichment facilities I've heard about. Not with their current warheads, of course... but with bunker-busters.<br /><br />Moogie: Hush yore mouth!

Nukes are expensive shit Maynard!<br /><br />I am not an anti nuclear flower child, but these rockets are not even targeted any longer. They sit in a third state alert. That is, if a maintenance problem develops, it might be weeks before it is ready for tertiary alert again.<br /><br />Nuclear sub launched missiles are the way to go.<br /><br />The Minuteman is a ballistic missile. A ballistic missile is about the lowest tech thing next to a sling-shot.<br /><br />Take the money here, and invest a billion of it in hypervelocity missiles that are non-ballistic.<br /><br />Conrad is anti-American!A Triad is a 60's ideanoreply@blogger.com
