1. Iraq used our GPS?

And one of their missiles still made it through?

Okay. I can see that. There were probably only a hundred thousand GPS receivers in use in that theatre at any given moment. I suppose one could get overlooked.

But I have always assumed that this IS the major reason we so gleefully give away military technology to our rivals. Which should be easier to counter: a Chinese missile invented by the Chinese from scratch, or a Chinese missile based on a model that we used for decades?
