Even worse, when the Patriots were deployed to defend Tel Aviv halfway through the Iraqi Scud campaign, Postol’s evidence showed they increased Israeli casualties per Scud by 74 percent and apartments damaged per Scud by 340 percent apparently mostly due to explosion debris from the large numbers of Patriots that missed.

The file sounds entirely like " A Typical American Bullshit Book".

Fearing Army-wide replacement of their pet, the small arms bureaucrats delivered to Westmoreland in late 1964 a “militarized,” heavier, less effective version of the AR-15, the infamous early M-16A1, which they deliberately furnished with a powder that would make it jam in combat. As a result, young GIs died with jammed M-16s in their hands. It took three years and a brutally incisive congressional investigation4 to force the Army bureaucracy to fix the M-16 they had sabotaged.

By the end of 1914, 28 diminutive German submarines, each one-fortieth the cost of a battleship, had wrested control of the seas from the 47 mighty battleships, 195 cruisers and 200 destroyers of the Royal Navy.

ORLY. I suppose Jutland battle happened in my wild imagination then.

And so on and so forth.

Also - claim about T-A sounds wrong - the difference between debris and explosive warhead (which in case of SCUD is like 500 kg) - is kinda big.
