I think the MNA (martian new agency) reported it, should be legit.

"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
I can't vouch for any of this, but for chits and giggles, and assuming it's true (which I do) , doesn't this show of naval power and accuracy impress you?

Patriot has a pretty good track record.
I saw the Scud go over and the Patriot never fired that night.. Every time it fired it worked that's why we wandered around like Englishmen in the Rain knowing our umbrella would keep us dry...
My question is on this shoot, were we protecting the people or our technology? |

For the Government to say that they destroyed this because of the hazardous Hydrazine fuel is bunk.
The only reason this was destroyed was to make absolute sure that all classified hardware was totally destroyed before coming down to earth as to not fall into the wrong hands. period.
This just shows how vunerable space is. Alls it takes is for say China or another country to down enough of our military satellites and we are basically screwed. Too much dependancy on electronic warfare.
