Completely agree with you Vent. Hilbird is a POS.
I think the US best stay in its own hood. China isn’t Libya . They gots lots-o-fighters and own the East China Sea. US top brass needs to retire and bring in some capable Junior ranking leaders.
OK on the new leaders! Of course, they must be diverse and include the US Navvy's lesbo ship-wrecker brass, the Army's Affirmative Action nincompoops, some Asians, Politically Correct Hispanics,not too "white",please, and the obligatory GLBTG (or however TF you acronymize that hosshiite). I wait with bated breath for the USN to assign a gay married couple to the same ship.
The CHICOM will soon be quaking in their boots ... with laughter.
