They say that every time this exercise is going to happen. Truth is that one aircraft carrier scares the living begeezus out of them.
Didn't they manage to capture on of our ships?
The name escapes me. Liberty?
Recently, I read that they were not keeping it in good condition.....or have I got it all wrong?
"Truth is that one aircraft carrier scares the living begeezus out of them."
With the 80 F-16s and 15 A-10s in country already I think he already achieved maximum pucker factor. Having the carrier available simply allows PF to achieve critical mass.
Not to mention the strategic bombers recentl moved to Guam for an extended stay.B-2s to knock back their defenses a bit, then BUFFs to haul in the heavy metal.
