Better we should build more hospital ships and dispatch them where
needed around the world. We'd be spending far less and building good
will.


You don't seem to understand what an aircraft carrier and the task
forces they operate with are for. “

Honestly, I doubt he cares to know


Which of our enemies with missiles and nukes are going to be deterred
by aircraft carriers?

Any smart enemy knows now that all it has to do is unleash a
biological weapon in a half dozen U.S. cities to bring us to our knees.


I am just very thankful that people like yourself have no part in
determining what our National Defense policies should be.


Quack quack quack.


You selling Aflac now? I guess a gig's a gig if you can't ride the
bus. ;-)


I'm not sure the Keller bus is even running and, in fact, I haven't been
on it in a long, long time. I prefer driving up to the Metro station or,
if it is past rush hour, driving in to DC. The two clients there I visit
have their own under the building parking garages so I park there for
free, instead of paying the $35.

You don't seem to understand what an aircraft carrier and the task
forces they operate with are for.

They are a mobile extension of our ability to defend the USA
globally.

They are not to go fight a nuclear war.


Defend us from who? The Russians, the Chinese? The North Koreans?
Nuclear powers? Venezuela?



Anybody who poses a threat, regardless of where they are or who they
are.

It's a unique capability that no other nation has and many
depend on ... via our NATO agreements.



According to liberals, like Harry, no other nations pose a threat to the US.
Russia and China are not spending money on weapons. Or are they?


Of course they are. China is the world's second largest defense spender
and is a major arms exporter. Some of the weapons technology is more
advanced than ours.

and according to Defense News:

"Russian defense budget remains the third largest in the world, dwarfing
the military expenditures of most European states combined."


I wonder why? You reckon they just like having them?


It is a jobs program for them too.
Without their defense program, nobody would be going into space. We
haven't had that capability since the last Shuttle flew. (2011)
We wasted so much money on Carter's "Space Truck" that there wasn't
enough left over for any kind of follow on program.

China seems to be stealing our designs more than spending money
creating their own.


Clinton even gave them guidance for missiles. Agreed to a launch to space
from China and the missile failed for reason and the remains were missing
the guidance system,

BTW where are all the TDS people who were telling us those hospital
ships were months away from being able to deploy?



That's something Harry would never understand.

When the plan to send the Comfort to NY came up, the Navy
and the yardbirds in Norfolk said the work being done would
take another month.

A direct order from the Commander in Chief changed all that.

Funny how that works.

All of that is new since I lived there.
