We can just depend on them to protect us...
Wouldn’t it be wiser to just stop paying them?
We will be begging China for green cards soon.
LOL,
How do you keep a super power from sinking your navy??
I read about the buildup of China’s maritime in 1985. This shouldn’t be anything new to our Government.
Perhaps we’ve ignored them too long.
If anything, our whole military is going to be used and abused and cut.
That’s all good and fine, and if Obama wants a bigger navy, I’ll certainly support him (obviously, I’m not holding my breath).
However, I will not SUCK UP to Obama as Mr. Kristol seems to be doing, and I will no longer read his trash.
the likes of Kristol, hannity etc have made me sick.
All this we must work together , wish him well crap.
They must be concerned that they will not be getting invites to the DC parties
indeed it will.
the military is more of a republican voting bloc and so more of the military will be cut and bases in swing states closed.
Look at CO, there were 3 bases there but now they have been closed the state has lost many republican votes
Modern ships are hideously expensive. I love ‘em and I wish we would build more. But I fully expect Obama to cut very deeply on the navy side.
All of this to put shipping dollars into George Soroses pocket, so he can support Libs and further his agenda.
Then we purchase Oil from Arabs so the terrorist have plenty of bucks to attack us, the madrases have money to teach boys to hate us, and Iran can have the money to build nukes.
Call me a protectionist, but I am all for protecting this country by keeping dollars out of the hands of our enemy's and detractors.
Fort Carson is still open. Lowerey AFB was really nothing. What other bases are you talking about?
WHat in the military isn’t hideously expensive? Boot laces?
Yeah, the military is gonna get slashed across the board. It’s gonna be clinton/carter all over again.
I read that there were 3 and one county I forget the name had a big military base there but since they have left under clionton the county is nown blue
While not to make light of the threat (never underestimate your enemy); building a bigger navy is not the same as operating one. Add operational experience on top of your build time, even considering the fact that past (publicly available) lessons are readily available; there’s still time to get the socialist out of Washington. But not much.
Colorado has The US Air Force Academy,Peterson AFB,Fort Carson, The US Space Command at Schreiver (sp) AFB.
Need to:
1. Aggressively accelerate development of carrier-based UAV usage —modern carrier aircraft have legs that are only somewhat longer than what they were in WW2.
2. Accelerate ABM, DE programs on maaaaany Navy ships
I also think china will also come out with an countership ICBM.
