Hi Richard, as stated by Mr. Ronald Reagan in 1989 - if I can remember well the right year - we should not consider the concept of WAR simply an our homeworld one; I fully subscribe this point of view; we should not expect to be threatened only from Chinese rockets or, in the future, from the ones probably could come from a Pan-Islamic alliance; we must reasonably consider other issues, I mean - please do not laugh - not coming only from Earth but - why not? - from the outer space. It is not important that you believe in UFOs: they can exist as alien spacecrafts or not - my opinion is YES but it makes not difference in this subject - but we cannot assert that the danger to be attacked in the future (in one minute or in one century) from alien military forces is not a valid topic. So, in my opinion, having something like laser battlestations in space is not a matter of proud but simply a matter of security; well, I do not believe they could be effective against UFOs, but they could be a starting point to have something useful for the future in order to try to defend us from eventual alien threats.
