Right...it's much easier to accept the bs poured out by the U.S. DoD and
its suppliers.

Sorry Harry. The contracts issued by the DoD to it's suppliers are much
more indicative to the state of the art than what you read in the sanitized,
civilian orientated "Jane's".

I'm sorry, Richard, but I simply do not believe anything the military
establishment claims or says in procurement or in a number of other
areas. Note to the simpleminded: I am not commenting on the veracity of
individual military personnel.

Just repeating what John called you (Tom).

Try reading the header.

With all the folks here using multiple handles lately..........why
bother?

BTW: Who's wife is a bull****ter?
===================================

The point is you accuse someone that doesn't deserve it.




Yawn. The point is, if posters here were required to post with their
real names or initials, this would be a far better newsgroup. Most of
the Seven Little Schitts wouldn't be posting here at all, and probably
neither would ducks.

Fixed bases have been vulnerable for years.

So what is a brilliant arm chair naval strategist like yourself
supposed to do ?



Find ways other than warfare to resolve differences. You know, like Bush
should have done with Iraq.


"Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant."Eisboch

There's some interesting spin.

Who makes up the establishment? Individuals?

You do not.


Yeah, I do. Comped. Long, long story, the gist of which is that I used
to handle the marketing and PR for a now-defunct pro-military
entanglement "diplomacy" publication, and when the pub folded (long
after my involvement with it), the senior editor, a buddy, hopped to the
Jane's group, and I got a comp. After some years, at my request, he
switched it to an electronic subscription. I still look at it once it a
while.

Of course - a comped subscription to Jane's.

What was I thinking?

Nobody is claiming that fixed bases are invulnerable.

Let me try and summarize your main points:

- Carriers are worthless because they are vulnerable.

- Fixed bases are more worthless.

That's why you need to send the Marines.

Don't plan - improvise. :)
