Zumwalt Destroyers — swell idea but cost too much, could not perform it’s primary mission, was a failed program.

LCS— not needed, hard to maintain, pointless ship, failed program.

Meanwhile, over on the Air Force side, the USAF would dearly love to cancel the A-10 because it is a proven workhorse, marvelous in its critical role, and loved by the Army. The air force hasn’t managed to kill it yet but they sure want to.

We think we are militarily strong, but I have my doubts.

I think we waste 51% of our national defense budget and use 45% productively and 4% is stolen.

Destroyers looked like Destroyers back when I was a QM2 on the USS Ault.
Great Ship

Let’s just recognize U.S. military spending for what it really is: welfare for white people.

Why the Army and Marines don’t get A-10’s is beyond me.

“Who needs the A-10 when the B-1 bomber can handle close-in ground support?”

- USAF morons
