Well, it does speak about missiles so I thought this would be the best forum to post it.
Interesting concept.
If the American cousins can understand this, then there really is no doubt why they are the worlds Nr1 military power.
Enjoy...

Sounds like it was cooked up by Dick Cheneys speechwriter. "There are things that we know..." :E

Shouldn't the algorithm for finding where you are be to subtract where you are not from where you ...could be? :8
btw, I have some much more interesting files that discuss deviations!

The old ones are the best. Did the USAF lift this from the V-Force (Blue Steel instructors) or did we lift it from the Yanks?
It was going the rounds 40 years ago.

D'oh! I knew that.... Honest! :O
The manual override mode for the missiles includes clicking your heels together 3x and it will end up somewhere other then where you are or were and with expectations of getting there ahead of your or just shortly after you arrive.
