If less of my taxes went to missile and more toward social programs I'd be a lot happier too

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't.

By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.

The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is.

Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.

All this wouldn't be possible without your tax dollars
