God help us if we are ever involved in REAL naval warfare, and not the Peace Corps Afloat.

Like the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Or Okinawa, where we lost more ships (sunk or out of action) to “cruise missiles” (Kamikazes) than we have in the Navy today.

The PC gay commissars won't be much help when the missiles slam into the hulls. An easy way to imagine modern naval warfare is the missile hits, and you have 25% KIA and 25% WIN in seconds. Then you must keep your ship afloat and try to keep systems operable.

It won't be like an episode of Star Trek, where the Enterprise gets pushed around a bit.

And we are putting girls and fairies into that future cauldron.

God help us.

Should have been 25% KIA and 25% WIA (Wounded In Action)

The day is soon coming where some lunatic country is going to develop a real "drone". They will start taking out diplomats, American patrols, American embassies, and even try at warships.

While I am aware that the satellite technology is "controlled" by the Americans, and that the signals are broadcast encrypted, the fact remains that if the signals can be encrypted, they can be un-encrypted....especially, with help from somebody like the little pimply faced scum who helped Julian Assange.

The reaction, when it happens, will be interesting to say the least, from our President and Generals, whoever they (he/she/it) are.
