It didn't take a Chinese hyper-sonic cruise missile
to put a US aircraft carrier out of commission.

All it took was a virus.

Does it matter? We should scrap at least half the navy and stop wasting
money on big new ships.

Jimmy had the same philosophy of dismantling military funding, and it ended in disaster

How so, exactly? Didn't we have enough on hand to defeat the tiny
countries?

It does cause one to realize how vulnerable we may be everywhere
to biological warfare.

We're not about to get into a shooting war with a nuclear power and the
terrorists around the world aren't stymied by their comrades being
killed en masse, so what's the point? These ships are vulnerable.

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.

When you cobble equipment with canabalized parts because budget doesn’t allow for new, you have results like Operation Eagle Claw. And that was a major turning point in Jimmys attempt for re-election

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.

Bull****.

We don't need more warships, we need fewer, and fewer are easier to
maintain and budget parts for, too.

This country's infrastructure is crumbling, we have serious public
health issues, we have dozens of other problems. Spending more on the
military is not the solution.
