#3 ^ #2 Mike, definitely the most frightening war machine ever made. But it frightens me too, because it means that our procurement system is so throughly screwed that we're flying planes older than me. I'm mainly thinking about the Navy surface fleet -- at the rate they're going the USS Constitution will be the most lethal surface combatant we have. I hope I'm wrong.

why go to war if territory is not involved? How do you occupy territory without grunts?

#6 ^First you break the enemy, then you occupy the territory. And, nowadays it's not about taking their territory anyways - it's to stop them from taking ours.

#7 Matt, it's worse than you realize.
The USS Constitution is the only commisioned vessel that the Navy has that's sunk an enemy ship.
