Many of us probably won't *agree* with it, any more than we agree that GPS
is a space-based offensive weapons system, but at least we might know
where you're coming from.

Please note the distinction between a space-based offensive weapons
system versus a space-based system that offers offensive weapons
capability.

I would say "enhances" rather than "offers".

Note here a case where GPS *creates* an offensive weapons capability:
GPS bombs.

Imagine during the biggest, most recent raid on Baghdad...

All of a sudden turning off GPS the constellation.

This would have had an effect reminiscent to that scene in a new Star
Wars episode where in the heat of battle, all of the robot warriors
instantly become useless.

Give it up, troll. The 1991 Gulf War utilized smart bombs without GPS,
so your assertions are false, as usual.
