not one mention of Zumwalt or LCS in this article

you cannot talk about (re)building the military without discussing the decades and billions wasted pursuing pipe dreams and failed ideas

right now we are building an LCS that will be scrapped within a year of it being put to sea...we still have LCSs that even haven't had their keels laid...which will meet the same fate! say it out loud: "we don't want the LCS and will scrap them...can you build us eight more please?"

do you think the Chinese Navy is ordering boats they don't want?

and try spending some money on people, and I don't just mean better soldier pay...look at the pathetic physical condition of today's soldiers...what % of the armed forces are medically obese? go watch random military videos on youtube and see the guts hanging over the belts...its just pathetic
