I have said for years that the US is too dumb to be able to determine if it is under attack and if we are in the middle of a war.

These various viruses floating around is a perfect example of our present incapability. We as a nation cannot wipe our rear end these days.

In 1945, we were the most powerful and most respected nation on the face of the Earth. Pennsylvania alone made more steel that any country in the world. We had thousands of ships at sea and more thounds of aircraft in the air.

The US and it Allies had the largest invasion fleet of ships and aircraft ever assombled when we invaded Europe in 1944.

Now we can count the number of carriers we can put to sea on one hand.

I will permit you to draw you own conclusions.

Well, WWII mobilized every pertinent industry and citizen into the war effort. Several of the world's most industrialized nations went toe to toe and gave their all to see who would be left standing.

I don't see the capability to wage industrial war as something pertinent to today. People learned long ago that nobody will win in a fullscale modern war. You will no longer see giant fleets and rows of armor with a nation's flag.

Today's war will never be declared and each battle is foremost for people's minds. It will be waged through propaganda, terrorism, guerrilla warfare, economic terrorism, hacking and threats with superweapons.

Unfortunately, I do agree we are losing on the new battlefield. But not because we have fewer carriers. I almost believe the enemy has been fundamentally in charge for decades. They gutted the nation from within while we built fancy toys for a big battle.
