Wasn’t that speech in 1960, his farewell speech?

Quite possibly, given that the economic Cold War is over, and mentioning “socialism” doesn’t make you an enemy to America anymore. But it really depends on which Democrats you’re talking about, and which part of 1948. Stalin’s blockade of Berlin basically changed everything, but Henry Wallace would definitely have…

Yet, after Omar Bradley told Congress we didn’t need a Navy anymore because of the nuclear Air Force, Korea still demonstrated the need for scalable responses and (finally) justified funding for supercarriers. I mean, he didn’t lay all of them down, but all four Forrestal class carriers were commissioned during Ike’s…

During Operation Odyssey Dawn, we basically used Gator carriers as real carriers without launching an amphibious invasion. The theory, honestly, isn’t all that terrible.

Amusing, but not correct. Military acquisition is all about the marginal cost, which is, actually, the economically reasonable way to think about it.

Nice.

No, and also this is not proper English.

No joke... we almost named our puppy after Kelly Johnson. (Who, as I pointed out to my wife yesterday, designed Columbine II)

I know for sure the Vinson is in San Diego.

May I introduce you to a very special blog? You may have heard of it, it’s called War Is Boring?

Starred because I am assuming exclamation points mean silly

Yeah, it’s not like the Eisenhower administration was behind the doctrine of Massive Retaliation or anything.

Given that Ike was recruited for the Democratic nomination in 1948, this seems unlikely.

Presumably, then, the modified America-class can also sustain V-22 operations?

You should’ve just posted the picture of Eisenhower. Those who know, would get it.

At this point, I’m not that concerned with how seriously you take me, especially since you interpret that first comment as being “upset”. You seem to be the one who keeps acting annoyed.

Plus 50% more awesome, cuz... y’know... trijet.

1000 victims? Really?? That’s your threshold? You can’t Google “Christian terrorists”, “Hindu terrorists” or “Jewish terrorists” for yourself? The 2002 anti-Muslim riots in Gujarat killed almost 800 Muslims themselves. And that won’t even include acts of terrorism not explicitly related to religions (like the 2011…

Somehow, I would’ve figured the Dassault Falcon to be faster.

Okay, show me Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, etc. body counts per capita?
