Wasn’t there some war game not so long ago where an ‘Aggressor’ person ruined a war game by launching zillions of cruise misses at US assets and basically ending the war game in like the first inning?

I understand our global influence/power is being threatened, but Pax Americana is a bit much. If it’s Pax Americana militarily, it’s Pacem De Mundo. (Google translated, because I do not speak Latin. Hah.)

Hey Tyler - didn’t we (USA) toss the non-nuclear ballistic missile idea around for a rapid strike anywhere in the world - but scratched it for fear of other states thinking it was a nuclear attack? How does China get away with it and we can’t? I’m confused - but tha’s par for my course...

‘Torture’ is a word with many levels. All you need is a radio and a lightbulb to deprive someone of sleep - which, I’ve read, may be the worst torture of all - and it ‘leaves no marks’ - which is another quote of yours with many, many levels.

‘Digress.' Google it. Geez, people...

No.

Thanks for response, Tyler. Amazing how so many smart people are so far apart in opinion. Great work, as always. You da man...

Outside of an actual engagement, would’t the best place to judge the F-35 be a Red Flag exercise? I’m gonna wait until then to pass judgement.

• With billions of dollars flushing through the Iranian economy, not to mention frozen government dollars being repatriated to the Iranian Government, Iran will have much more money to fund its proxy wars around the Middle East. These include arming Hezbollah, Hamas and Houthi Rebels in Yemen and backing up the Assad…

Doubt it’s bumps and hookers...

So - in your opinion - why is Carter there?

‘This young man,’ is a proud Marine, a patriot, and a smart cookie.

No need to point out you’re European. Your tone, text and opinion say it quite loudly. Just meet your 2% GDP commitment to defense, and we’ll do the heavy lifting. Just like we’ve done before - which is why you’re not speaking German and living in Germania. You’re welcome.

Bravo, my man - I just laughed so hard I woke up my 2 year-old. Hahaha

This is the same dude that didn’t know NFL games can end in a tie, mind you...

Wow. Look at that. A fighter that’s NEVER been shot down in air to air combat - with MAD upgrades - with SIX-EFFIN-TEEN air to air missles. Be nice to have along side an F-22 tellin’ ya where to shoot. Wish we weren’t hancuffed by the F-35. Variety is the spice of life ;-)

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAP!

Blows my mind that Big Defense can ‘Wag The Dog’ like this - in 2015, no less. Hope they come up with some sort of fix - but it doesn’t look good. Makes me sad.
