The Washington Times:
It seems like the kind of swamp-draining good-government measure for which the Trump administration can rightly take pride. But a move to kill a Pentagon program related to missile defense seems to have come just as the program was beginning to show promise and actually could leave America more vulnerable to nuclear attack for a decade.
At issue are the kill vehicles attached to missiles stored in the ground in Alaska and California that are designed to intercept an incoming intercontinental ballistic missile in mid-flight. The kill vehicle then detaches from the rocket and destroys the incoming missile over the ocean.
