that, nothing important.

Please don't argue that we don't have a balance of power obligation. Our
security, indeed much of the world's depends on it. If the day ever comes
when another nation ever thinks it can militarily defeat us, the first part
of the battle will have been lost and we'll be obligated to prove to them
how wrong they were. It's better to never have them develop the confidence
to try.

The blue water Navy is tested virtually everyday when at sea. The testing is
not always being done by us.

I, nor many others, I suspect, could care less if you are impressed or not.
It doesn't matter. I understand the mission and the purpose, I believe in
it and I thank God we have it, even if it helps provide security to armchair
whiners like you.

Sorry...I don't buy into the 8' asparagus of the military. I'm not
suggesting we do away with it. I just believe that the nature of today's
threats have made our military...less relevant.

Harry, you probably don't realize this, but the last few responses to you
by Eisboch were *not* compliments.

You need to get your head out of wherever it is.

We've been taking up all of Harry's time this morning. How do you expect
the man to make a living writing jingles when we keep distracting him.

Harry doesn't work! Except when his wife gets home from the local
union hall. Then he has to get her supper.
