If it is only true for fixed targets then how does an anti-aircraft missile work? Isn't the target moving? Dosen't the missile HOE(Home On Energy) or home on Radar. Things will go wrong it is not a perfect system but pretty good.
Pretty good isn't really acceptable these days, what with the level of media coverage (traditional and web-based). The pure missile age isn't upon us yet, and until it is you really need the flexibility that CVs provide.
"On the plains and mountains of the American West, the United States Army had once learned everything there was to learn about hit-and-run tactics and guerrilla warfare."
