Incorrect. GPS accuracy was deliberately bollixed during the conflict,
to hamper enemy activity. The coalition had kit to descramble the
signal.

How do you know? Were you outside with your GPS on 09/10 checking it?
But certainly they didn't turn it off in Europe - what would have been
the point?

Here's another point: all those military sats will need replacing in
5-10 years. What if Congress decides its a waste of money and refuses
to cough up? What if the US has another disaster in its space
programme, can't launch a firecracker for the next decade, and the
Kazakhs take a dislike to Americans?
