The GOP have continually promoted the idea of an impenetrable missile shield designed to protect the Continental USA and some of our overseas possession from attack by IBCMs. Ronald Reagan promoted the Strategic Defense Initiative or (SDI) as Star Wars defense in hopes of bankrupting the USSR through their efforts to come up with a missile capable of piercing this barrier. GW Bush almost pursued this strategy and the Pentagon crowed each time that they tested an interceptor missile against an incoming target.
Billions of dollars were spent on the Aegis program without any positive results.
Except in the mind of GW Bush, however it's nice to know that other nations' weapons systems are also capable of malfunctions as demonstrated by this video of a French anti-tank missile.
