The patriot killed more americans than scuds

The patriot system failed in the gulf war...it did nothing and the people killed by "scud" were very likely killed by failed patriot launches.

ANTI missile tech is a while off... at least a system that works enough of the time to be worthwhile...

I do work with lasers but not the abm kind... but... there are a LOT of problems with the idea of laser defenses...I know there is a lot of tech that I do not know about but still I do not see it working in a way that will be sufficient.
