Consider as an example THAAD. That doesn’t kill anyone, but if it works correctly, it destroys incoming missiles which save people. Consider Israel’s Iron Dome. That system saves people from being killed. All the really high tech stuff being designed today doesn’t kill at all. The F22 is a holdover from the old days, and I still don’t see why we need it when we have advanced anti-aircraft drones which make the whole notion of fighter planes outdated.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>As far as slaying people, the design phase on that kind of stuff was over long before the oldest person here was born.
