that's what I said/wrote. That's what they were told or instructed to do. The Americans may or may not have been on their best behavior but that's my point exactly. They "showed" their people that they weren't going to let USA come in and push them around.
By leaving it looks worse.
As for the Orion being forced down.... once again you prove my point. What did we do to China for doing that? Did we do another fly by with some fighters flying CAP around them? Nope. Did we take our battle group and park it in Taiwan and shoot down anything that came closer than 120 miles? nope. In fact the Chinese parked a sub right next to one of our carriers (figuratively speaking)....... Click here
As I also stated earlier, if and when there is going to be a conflict, Do you think that they will fight a "war" allowing us to use our superior technology? Why would they do that? If they assaulted Taiwan, mixed in with the civilian populace by placing weapon systems in hospitals, churches/temples, schools etc.... what are we going to do besides.....er... negotiate? Oh that's right we can "sanction" them... or do "hard politics" that Obama yapped about. f'ing joke.
You think that a war with China is going to be a cake walk, think again brother. Think "logistics" and think about what we can build and what they can build for a soldier. hahahahahahahaha... go get an American Flag and look at the label. We're not even talking magazines, boots, laces, parachute systems, primers, etc....
Here's a little surprise for those that think we're superior to the Chinese military
