Not surprised, but land based ICBM'S are kinda out dated.
What lets me sleep at night is our Trident submarines where no one knows where they are. An no, they don't travel alone and have Los Angeles attack subs to protect them. A Trident has 24 (or use to) nuclear tipped missles with numerous warheads to launch further than most believe. Can't say the distance, because it's classified.
Land/sea/space based intercepters are our future. Land based nuke ICBM's have long been identified as in location and pretty much useless. Also, bombers can be shot down. Our Navy is our main deterent and why no one (other than the Islam crazies) won't attack us.
God bless our Bubbleheads. No one knows where they are and how hard they work to keep it that way. They are as clandestine as the CIA and SEALs. Yet, they get no credit for what they do. I appreciate you nuke submariners and realize what a tough life it is on such a small boat.

Curtis LeMay is probably doing 360s in his resting place over this clown traitor we have as CIC.

Just what he promised Lebvedeb on the open mic, “Tell Vladimir I’ll have more flexibility after the election.”

I really don’t see any present need to have ICBMs in underground in silos, at least in great numbers. We have Subs that can do pretty much the same things, along with bombers that can fly anywhere in the world without being ‘seen’. This isn’t even considering what we may have in space that we aren’t aware of.

Spot on! The Air Force has wanted out of the ICBM business for a long time. Their focus is on hypersonic/kinetic/space weapons. Offloading the nuclear deterrent to the Navy is logical because flight time for a D5 Trident from a boomer on patrol to a target is a fraction of what it is from a land-based missile (call me Captain Obvious).
The Navy can also launch conventional attacks that can be as effective as a D5 strike. One SSGN can launch 50-100 Tomahawks into the Three Gorges Dam and mortally wound China.

As countries that are not our friends grow closer to modernizing their nuclear weapons programs, it would be irresponsible for us to weaken our own program. It's not irresponsible.
It's treason.

While I agree that ICBMs are a generation behind, they are the backbone of our deterrent. Moreover, the democrats - and many RINOs - have absolutely no interest whatsoever in space-based weapons.
