U.S. Funds Israel's 'Iron Dome,' But Doesn't (Quite) Know How It Works: The top U.S. military officer's plane got damaged in Afghanistan by insurgent rockets on Tuesday morning.

But it has helped its ally Israel buy its own system for defending against exactly those kinds of rockets. Too bad the U.S. doesn't quite know how the Iron Dome system works.
