Bullseye!

Today on TV they showed the Navy shooting down that disabled spy satellite that’s been on the news for over a week. They said it was a perfect shot, hitting the gas tank and blowing it into pieces no bigger than a football. Good job ya’ll.

The reporter also talked about complaints that it wasn’t necessary to shoot it down and was a waste of 30 to 40 million dollars. Those people are missing the big picture of what really happened today.

Telling everyone it needed to be shot down to protect the advanced spy equipment on board from falling into the wrong hands was just a good story to tell the public. Although it was probably true, there was something more important going on today that no one seemed to snap to. We just showed the entire world that we have the technology to launch a missile from a ship and hit a target no bigger than a bus, in outer space.

With one simple military operation, plus free TV coverage from every major news agency, we gave notice to the entire planet that the realm of space is ours, and nothing they put up there is safe anymore. We can hit it with pinpoint accuracy.

I give credit to the folks who planned this mission. It was perfectly orchestrated and televised. It displayed the capabilities of our mighty military and showed the world why we remain the strongest nation on Earth.

Thank God we didn’t miss!

“God, our military strength impresses only the secular world. I know our country remains strong because of our steadfast belief in you, and that your strength is what makes us mighty.”
