I hate to correct you, but I have seen have seen the Isolationist here would praise this type of move. Mainly the Paulbots

i’m not an isolationist.

my post means that the one of the intentions of the soros-obama camp is to reduce the size of our military.

I’m not going to praise this, but raise this observation: an aircraft carrier is a big target at sea.

Maybe in this age of satellites and cruise missiles, we should be revamping our naval order of battle.

We need to conceptualize what the next world war will look like. Do we need aircraft carriers? Perhaps we need more nuclear submarines with quieter propulsion systems? Perhaps a revolutionary vessel which can travel both on the surface and submerged?

I’m only throwing ideas out there; not necessarily agreeing with scrapping a carrier which could have another 25 good years of useful life ahead in our navy.

Note: I’m a Navy vet.
