As history has proved and what I learned as combat doctrine 101, is that you don't have to completely destroy a thing (i.e.: sink a ship) to render it combat ineffective. Again, as any swabbie could tell you, from the days on the Spanish Main and even before.

That same rule goes for pretty much any other asset in theater, from human resources on up.

Missiles have been, are currently and will likely remain an enormous threat. And when you have a dozen or so coming at you at once, well, good luck.

I'll give you another chance: I asked:To show the fallacy of your argument, suppose the ChiCOMS today right now, had 11 functioning carrier BG's and we had none. How would you "feel" then?

Please answer the question.
