So what?

Fortunately the USA can still produce enough men with spines to man our armed services.

Actually I’m a combat veteran, and I’m kind of tired of hearing about fuel truck drivers with PTSD.

What did you think you were going to do in the Air Force?

Got that part.

They still were procured for a reason that can’t be satisfied if they are stuffed in a hanger.

Laziness.

....readiness....

The real point is, fly them out of harms way, so they are ready to go into harms way.

Speaking of budget, why do they have a hanger hanging around with space for 18 more planes?

You are correct. Littoral Combat Ships are technically the new torpedo boat destroyers.

Actually the designs of naval vessels have changed so much the historic classifications of vessels don’t really apply well any more. One could argue that the naval gunfire support capability of the Zumwalt actually should have it classified as a battleship.

Complete and total bullshit.

It’s called free trade. Try reading Adam Smith....

Google search.

And here we are, the wealthiest and most productive people in history.

Dude, your head is up your ass.

And yet, that is a standard insult in assbackwards and other shit hole parts of the world, collectively referred to as the Mideast.

Until they get in the shit, again, and need us to bail them out, again.

Just don’t see the world plot anti Obama connection. I’m pretty sure this is just China being Chinese dickheads.
