Because both sides are building hypersonic missiles to shoot at bicycles riding on the boardwalk.
You and your aircraft carriers are fighting the last war.
Give me a break. That is not going to work. We have hypersonic missiles now (costing only 50 cents a piece) that can kill soldiers who cost $20,000 a piece to train, they are called bullets. Maybe we should get rid of the army too?
“You and your aircraft carriers are fighting the last war.”
Funny thing, that “last war” statement.
I think a better statement that has actually held up to be true is, “Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it.”
WWI was the “war to end war”. It wasn’t. Every large war has been declared throughout history as the “last war”.
We can project air power anywhere in the world but unknowing dick heads, who have never been in the Navy, know better.
