   But what about THAAD - a weapon that your former employer has a part   
   in developing, and more?   
      
   If we could launch a strike on targets and destroy them before they   
   can react, then not even China or Russia have deterrents - not to   
   mention North Korea, which haven't had done hardly any testing on its   
   missile launching system.   
      
   So, I argue that North Korea may not have a deterent, if the THAAD   
   that we sent to S Korea is working as advertised, although there are   
   still the well-known "25 million reasons" for any sane politician in   
   Washington not to attack NK.   
      
   But our Force Sin is talking about the generals - whom we did not   
   elect and to whom excessive responsibility and decision-making power   
   have now been apparently given by the C-in-C.
