You're a decrepit dinosaur. Go find a cozy place and extinct yourself. Men with vision and courage will define and fight our future battles.

Let me tell you something. The PP Planning of the Poppy Bush years cost us an aircraft carrier. Not an oldie obsolete one either. It missed two critical yard periods and Clinton sent it out out on a third deployment much in the same shape as JFK and KH were after 9/11. THE SHIP HAD A MMR EXPLOSION UPON RETURN. Do you have a clue as to what 1200 PSI super heated steam is? Do you know it's dangers? It will cut your head off with a leak the size of a number 2 pencil lead. I kid you not.

Do you think our nuke Navy can deploy indefinitely as well? It can't nor can soldiers without down time. A nuke ship has the same maintenance rotation need as a conventional one. Are things being ran to the standard of Rickover? Nuke carriers are 1200 PSI systems just like the conventional. But that is but a part of the maintenance issue.

With what happened under Poppy Bush and Clinton it is wise to ask questions and expect answers other than well, you don't go to war with...." This is the 5th anniversary since 9/11 with a GOP congress and POTUS. Where's the help? Oh yea Rummy called up the NG's and reserves for the Upteenth time in the past 12 years for extended deployments. Many of them are on second tours as well. Yea he's a real sharp planner he is. Yippie!!!! We are one Pearl Harbor away from having our major Naval capacities wiped out well into two decades from now.

BTW what moron put three carriers in the same yard at the same time? Do you know and understand what material condition Zebra is and the impossibility of those ships obtaining it in that venue much less even Yoke? Worse what is across the river from that yard where those carriers are? We are a Pearl Harbor away from disaster unequaled since WW2. The best way to avoid it is not to go there to start with by making bonehead planning.

Sounds like you should write a book. "If only they'd listened to me."
