The Hypersonic Missile Vulnerability That NO ONE Talks About

I dunno, it kind of sounds like nobody has a hypersonic missile that can live up to its hype. At least not yet. 

I suppose that the compulsion to build ever more deadly weapons is ingrained in our society, our minds and our bodies right down to our bones. All driven by the fear that if the 'other guys' got an edge up on us we would be at their mercy, and being as 'they' are heathen, pagan, devil worshipers, we can't expect much in the way of mercy. Probably be put up on stage and dissected. Better to go out in a blaze of glory, am-I-right?

Of course, this compulsion is buried deep within our bones and after you have applied a nice thick layer of civilization over those bones, you might think we live in a civilized society. I am pretty sure we don't, but we like to pretend that we do, we like to pretend that if we all just got our shit together, we could all live in a civilized society. It's a nice dream and its our belief in that dream that allows us to have little bits of paradise scattered here and there around the world.

But our society is not really civilized. All that civilization that's been slathered on our bones is no kind of armor if reality decides to intrude, and it doesn't take much reality to break through that cream puff layer and reach the bones where the killer resides. Wake him up and see how civilized our society is.
