If a full scale all out war was to start someday the first target may be command and control operations. That only makes sense IF war were to break out. Let's hope it never does.

But the Chinese have anti satellite rocket/missiles designed to destroy our GPS Satellites. Without those GPS Satellites our GPS navigation system is not going to work.

I heard on the news last night that the Navy's GPS signals may have been Jammed by Iran which caused those sailors to be lost and end up captured by the Iranians. I'm not sure that can be done but if you know the frequency of the signal it might be possible to jam the receiving equipment maybe.

Why do you allow Iran to control those islands in the first place. I'm talking about the islands in the Northern Part of the Persian Gulf.
