Eseentially though, like much of the Reagan/Bush/Bush military operations, the Star Wars program was more of a "look how scary nuts we are" and "let's dump tons of money into our supporters' corportations" plan, than really a "let's be Buck Rogers and really protect the Free World (tm) from the Evil Empire" plan.

It is worth noting that the dump tons of money and scary nuts elements caused the USSR to try to keep up in an ultimate game of the "Jones's". Totally crushing the USSRs already floundering economy and forcing the collapse of the rotten house of cards.
