So, we not oly have more and better equipment. We can use it more efficiently than anybody else!

[Dog Gone]

America's enemies may have weapons that can match or even beat ours in some cases. They may have systems that can counter some of our best surveillance.

I was especially impressed by the Russian GPS jammers.

[blam]

Good article, thanks.

The current issue of National Review has a couple good articles along this line.

One of them explains how much easier Powell's job will be now. Our advesaries do realise that they can deal with powell or deal with Rumsfeld. Which would you choose?

They really helped !!! LOL!

"I was especially impressed by the Russian GPS jammers."

Signals from those GPS jammers were good homing devices for Hellfire missiles.

[caisson71]

Those the US GPS guided bombs destroyed? Impressive aren't they?

[Wonder Warthog]

"So, we not oly have more and better equipment. We can use it more efficiently than anybody else!"

And the thing of it is "you ain't seen nothin' yet!" is the operative word. The stuff under test and on the drawing board makes today's computer data handling look like the latest Pentium vs. the 4004 chip. The level of technology is accelerating, not holding steady.

[WaterDragon]

I love reading high praise about our military!

[Billthedrill]

I was especially impressed by the Russian GPS jammers.

Me too. I don't think NATO has a codename for those. I nominate "Quagmire."

[McGavin999]

Not only that, we also have the logistic to take care of it too. It would cost the world billions to even try to catch up with us, and then billions more just to be able to move it from place to place, and billions more to be able to supply their forces.

If the rest of the world wants to get into an arms race with us, they better plan on spending about 75% of their GNP on weapons systems.

[Go Gordon]

Our advesaries do realise that they can deal with powell or deal with Rumsfeld. Which would you choose?

Its like the advertisement for Fram Oil Filters, when the old guy says: "You can pay me now...or pay me later.

[SamAdams76]

I get the general impression, after reading this, that our military is not something that other countries will want to mess around with.

[DugwayDuke]

I believe it was George Patton who observed that while Congress can make you a General, only the Signal Corps can make you a Commander.

[reagan_fanatic]

America...It's a good thing!

[Entropy Squared]

America...It's a good thing!

Agreed.

"So, we not oly have more and better equipment. We can use it more efficiently than anybody else!"

But not for long. Remember, we may not be the world's most powerful country very long. Especially if the dems get their way. We need to let China take a turn, then Zimbabwe, then Haiti, then Andorra, then St. Peter & Paul's Rocks...then Paris.
