The fact that most of our advanced weapons platforms have either been cancelled or toned down to such a state as to make them into only show case toys, should say a lot to us.

We have kicked terrorist ass with those "show off" weapons several times over. I doubt that they are toned down. When strong, feighn weakness, Sun Tzu says.

Most of our airframes are twice as old as their pilots and the dies have been destroyed. What will replace them? A hundred F22s? China will not be impressed.

C'mon! We attacked Iraq and Al Quada in Afghanistan. They had nothing but old oldated equipment and a army of half a** camel jockeys. Kinda akin to the Italian attacking Ethiopia who had their spears.
We'll see how good our technology is when or if we have to battle with China. Don't take this as an attack against our great military. I respect them. We have just been fighting the cut rate teams and not he varsity.
