    you know this isn't Reagans "star wars" right? no you don't, you saw a headline and made another rash impulsive post you didn't fully think through.

    Actually penis brain you're the one that should have thought things through. Yes, Star Wars was intended as a defensive system operated from space, while this one is offensive operated by ground troops.

    Cals point is about laser technology period. Liberals mocked the idea of using laser technology under Reagan. Today lasers seem to have found a place in our military.

    No they didn't. It was about using lasers from space. Sorry but you're an idiot once again. Lasers have been around for decades, nobody thought that at one point lasers couldn't be incorporated into a defensive ground based system. It's just smart people back then understood the modern day logistics of such an operation from space in a poorly thought through program that was just a golden parachute for the defense industry. THe technology wasn't there at the time and smart people unlike yourself knew it. My god look at how much money we've sunk into the F-35 and that's something we've been building for decades now...and look what a piece of shit it is. You stupid pieces of shit say the govt spends too much money but as soon as a weapons manufacturer drops trou and says i can build a deathstar you closet fgts are on your knees chin to balls....TO THE ROOT you suck that dick. Big black and to the root....and furthermore you love it. Absolutely dream about it.

      And how does technology advance, dimwit? And why were the russkies spending themselves into the poorhouse in fear of the program?

        wait wut? the govt advances technology? I thought it was incapable of such? lols

        Of course we invested in laser weapons R&D, we just didn't put into space right away like Reagan wanted...which would have been probably a trillion dollar embarrassement if not more. Eventually i'm sure we will be able to do just that but it has to go in steps. Certain companies will come up with ideas and approach the govt and they'll try and see if it works. Reagan wasn't talking about making investments in these technologies for "decades" in the future...he was talking about putting such weapons platforms in space during his tenure as POTUS. I know that cause I was alive during that time but very young...my father, a well known physicist, staunch republican and unabashed Reagan fanboy...even he was like c'mon this is a little soon.

          Oh, try not to sound so like much a dimwit, Cleve.

          the Star Wars research found a home on the battlefield.

          You're whining that we don't have fighters in outer space....yet.

          You should be embarrassed. LEARN SOMETHING. Learn how to think

          before you go off half....crocked.

            He's only crying because it was a Reagan initiative.

            If it were a Democrat who didn't trust the doctrine of mutually assured destruction he'd probably think it was brilliant.

            PS ya gotta start somewhere and today we are miles ahead of the rest of the world in strategic missile defense.

              Hmm. I wonder what the hell we did between the F-16 & F-35?

              It's almost like we don't have F-18s or F-22s

                where do you get i'm whining about not having fighters in outer space? that made no sense. And it appears things worked out as they were supposed to. They spent 3 more decades on r&d and now something can be put on the table that has a shot at being worth a damn. If they had gone down on Reagans urgent pee boner to put shit in space that wasn't ready the whole project likely would have collapsed and we would have spent trillions on it .Something you so called conservatives should be appalled by. But you aren't cause you have no idea what principle is.

                  Woah there sport, hold your horses. I know lasers have been around for decades ya dork , HeNe, Co2, YAG/KTP, Argon...worked on all of them.

                  It would be nice if you would address the actual point of the post..my claim that you're the one that didn't think things out, not Cal, instead of trying to impress everyone with your knowledge of laser history....or was this deflection just your way of acknowledging your gaffe without having to admit to it?

                    I don't have any particularly special knowledge of laser history, not my field. But I remember Reagans star wars boner and it was an idiotic idea at the time. Reagan wasn't talking about investing in R&D and see what's what in a couple decades. He wanted platforms tested in space during his term. That's why he was an idiot. He was just glassy eyed from all the free money being thrown around in the early 80's when we exploded our currency to the chagrin of a lot of sensible republicans. Of which you are not.

                      The hypocrisy that comes from liberals here is that yes, they did mock and laugh at Reagans Star Wars idea and how it couldn't work, but when it comes to "saving the planet", liberals are dead set on the possibility that someday passenger jets can run off solar power.

                      With liberals it all depends which way the winds of the particular cause blows.

                      oh and what liberal is making claims that passenger planes are going to be solar powered next year? Which one? They're idiots if they are. Nobody I've heard speak of solar powered planes is talking about this being implemented anytime soon. That's the intellectual difference you missed in this thread....Reagan wanted space lasers and he wanted em now like a little bratty child.
