I read your post and I’m not disagreeing with you, what I’m doing it throwing out ideas about something that is supposedly impossible, which is to attack a US Carrier.

History has shown us, when something is considered impossible, someone else comes up with a plan that shows it’s not only possible but probable.

You sound like someone who on September 10, 2001 would have looked with disdain at anyone who would suggest, passenger planes could be hijacked and flown into 100-story buildings causing them to collapse and crashed into the pentagon.

You sound like someone who would consider it crazy to suggest on December 6, 1941 it would be possible for another country to attack with overwhelming force Pearl Harbor.

I’m sure many people inside of Israel thought it was impossible for Hamas to infiltrate Israel kill over 1000 citizens by attacking from the ground, fly gliders into Israel and land boats on the coast loaded with terrorists, they became overconfident and lazy and get really hurt.

My point is, a US Navy strike group is not invulnerable for someone who is determined, doesn’t mind losing people, equipment and attacks in unconventional ways as long as the attack is successful.

The USS Cole attack is a perfect example, the US was lazy and overconfident and got attacked by a rubber boat loaded with explosives.

My advice to you, don’t take yourself so seriously and relax and be willing to engage in out of the box discussion, instead of lecturing people.

Shouldn’t you at least find someone who thinks an attack on a carrier group is impossible before you start pretending that is the accepted idea?

And quit pretending I am posting things I’m not.

My advice to you is to quit crying about everything and pretending you are the only person on earth thinking about what can happen to a Navy ship, or what happens if Israel fights back against Hamas, and suggesting that it is overwhelming and it is better to not resist.
