People at liberal think tank publications had issues with just about every weapon in the US inventory prior to Desert Storm. Then US hardware demonstrated its superiority by helping to clean Saddam’s clock and then some.

Uh, Saddam, with no air force or air defense after the first day was not the 2024 Russians or Chicoms. You might want to reconsider your position or find an example that in some way reflects the reality of today.

Very good point. Remember patsy schroeder's sarcasm about the AWACs, "An airplane searching for a mission"? She could always be counted on for her expertise in military matters.

I watched them dump the M-X Peacekeeper in favor of keeping the Minuteman III a system two generations older. And yes, in the USAF I did 9 years of Minuteman Maintenance (316X0H should mean something to some of you...)
