Our Navy is at 1915 levels.

Please. One CVBG could wipe out the entire navies of the entire world in 1915. There is more to a navy than counting boats. The rest of the world's fleets combined couldn't match the USN today.

What are these assholes shooting for, a Davy Crockett era defense strategy?

You mean when we didn't try to police the globe and send America's best to bleed for other nations? I'd shoot for that. We've been on the offense since 1898. The renaming of the War Department was entirely Orwellian (and done by the Democrats).

Wake up. We're bankrupting ourselves with warfare abroad and welfare at home, just like Rome.

Bump to post # 19. With the Iraq War over, Osama dead and the war in Afghanistan drawing down, its time to trim the Defense budget.
