    Something about women in power is kinda sexy though. AOC is not the most attractice woman, but watching her in court is a turn on. As for Warren, for 69 that is the best you can hope for.

    Anyways, you guys are kinda p***y. We have the best military becuase we fund the best military.

    Lol, I'm too old to care about that.

    Thanks for the link though. I agree with Warren, btw.

    Says the dude so insecure that he wants to increase military spending that is already out of control.

    I’m not worried about kicking ass in an conventional warfare....

    I question what we are spending our military funds on... seems like there’s a lot of waste.

    Russia and China have proved how cheap and effective unconventional means are, especially the former.

    Much much lower....it needs to stop being a catch all for the poor in this country, there needs to be a civil pathway towards college - where we teach a skill other than killing, we are NOT at war, we should not have a war footing.

    At this point all we do is pay billions for toys we never use and sell them for millions to our enemies.

    We're like that stupid 5th grader that you could convince to sell his new shoes to you for a couple of chicken tenders.

    Agreed. Also, i would like to add: **** gravity. If it were not for gravity we could all fly.

    Back on topic, we must believe our military is serving our best interests. If they need more give them more.

    We need to make our own weapons. Stop hiring companies with contracts that likely earn govt reps kick backs and the sort to over pay for crap that isn't good. The F35 is inferior to older jets and so is our missile system apparently when compared to russian models. Embarrassing. The MOAB was cheaper than the patriot and more effective, and we developed it internally I heard. No reason the armed forces can't internalize, but politics and money has our military by the balls. That will be our ruination.

    Oh and the Chinese are developing the next gen of weapons and warefare tech and we are either sitting with our thumbs up our ass, or we have some ace weapons hidden away for a rainy day.

    I am sure we will spend more money on a jet that doesn't fly well, or a one-off missile that costs more than some Americans ever make their entire life. Then we can use them in a war, but we will pretend it isn't a war if we don't declare it so.

    You keep saying "court". You know that Congress isn't a courthouse, right?

    You're totally wrong about the F35, and the MOAB (a bomb) and the Patriot (a missle) are 2 totally different things.

    Let me know if I am mistaken.

    The MOAB is a modern Daisy Cutter thermobaric weapon that requires a specialized C-130 to deliver -- it's huge too large for B-52 to carry. The Patriot is missle defense so I'm not sure what he is comparing.

    Right, if you want to explain to him the differences between a bomb and a missile, you just go ahead.

    Yet you've said it multiple times over multiple posts. I'm not sure you know what you mean.

    Sort of, it is better but it has its limitations and has had its problems, but when the vast majority of actions are places that pose no risk, it's a cheaper alternative. When they can, well that's the job for the F22 and there's nothing that comes close to that.
