Waste of money on obsolete death traps.

We should nuke our enemies into oblivion or else leave them alone.
Why throw able-bodied young boys at our enemies as cannon fodder when we have the technology to wipe them off the map altogether?

10 nukes would have fixed Iraq and Afghanistan - but instead thousands of dead and maimed boys later, those conflicts still simmer on unabated and they are more fixated than ever on Islam.

Fighting with this junk is a total waste. Now that we have nuclear weapons and airborne delivery capabilities, what good is something like this?
This is sort of like a highly trained prize-fighter learning how to scratch or pull hair when they can deliver a knockout blow.

I had a friend of mine who worked at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren VA tell me that the LCS “was designed to sink in shallow water”.
