Vietnam? The belief that low, slow and stealthy would win the day vs high and fast? Look at how many people claim that SAMs won out against the B-70 Valkyrie (basically, a heavy bomber analogue to the SR-71).

More likely high and fast is the answer, it's just ICBM's are faster and go higher than hypersonic rocket planes...
