I happen to live in qld. as it is the most desirable state to live in Aus. some 1000+ migrate here every week. as for inbreeding I think not. Whith a Geman mother and a Belgian father.The most embarassing time in my life was on a flight over seas with a mob of footballers from N.S.W. Talk about yobo's. I think we should be a little carefull about insulting one another. A lot of expert's have viewed carriers as obselete big target needs a lot of protection. If I am out of tune why are u.s. think tanks worried about China's latest acquisitions.
Yes carriers themselves are big targets, but they are also amazing assets and as such they are probably the most heavily protected warships sailing the seas. Used properly and protected properly carrier groups are designed to withstand multi-regimental maritime bomber strikes as well as hordes of submarines... Killing a carrier isnt impossible for countries like China and Russia but its not something thats going to be done in a pain free way. Achieving a mission kill on a carrier at the expense of wasting a goodly portion of your maritime strike and submarine force really isnt worth it especially when the US has 12 of them.
If you want to use think tanks as an example then please show me a link. You need to read between the lines when the certain groups and individuals talk up enemy capabilities. A prime example of this is Australias own Karlo Kopp. The dude has a hard on for the F22 and as such talks up advanced Flankers to be something that they currently are not in order to make his argument that Superbugs and the JSF couldnt handle them and as such Australia needs the F22. Its not good enough to just read something somewhere and parrot it, use your intelligence and find out who wrote it, what barrow he/she has to push and what way they lean politically.The best part of repentance is the sin

You overlook the cultural aspect of it... Do you think the Iraqi shias would fight the Iranians when they do ? Since shias make a sizeable portion of the population in Iraq- Iran only has to star a hint of a civil war..and then move-in "in support of our shia brothers" ... there is no saddam this time to rally the troops... no able leader= a walk over..

I am well aware the u.s. spends as much as the rest of the world combined for now. A large portion goes on personel. The U.S. even without it's allies has the ability to defeat any adversary but it lacks the will to do so. Currently there are 25,000 desserters, mr. Sherpard I think is causing a headache in Germany.{ seeking asylam}. I agree with mercenary once the u.s. pull out which they will. Nth. Iraq will more than likely fall to the Turks, the rest will fall to the Iranian backed Shia. Eventualy the same thing will happen in the Ghan. Support for the war is waning only about 40% support in Aus. Nth. Pakistan is vertualy Taliban controlled. Answer to officer of engineers I believe China's expanding fleet of type093 and type094 nuke attack subs.

Re dessertions. It depends on who you believe wwwmetafilter.com says 40,000 desserters, 25,000 say the Iraq veterans against the war. The pentagon on the other hand say 8,000. I see no reason for the vets to lie. Corey Glass in Canada and Andre Shepherd are but 2 high profile ones due to political implications in their host countries. Thanks for the news about the subs I had no idea our leaky old tubs were that capable ,never believe congress think tank again. Time will tell in Iraq. A recent documentery showed interviews in Kabul . The West and it's allies are clearly not liked. Refered to as the non muslim presence. I can't see the West staying for decades.

Those who asked are being processed to be shipped back to the US.

chakos you might like to check out some sites if you think they ain't a scientific reality yet.[ Force Fields] www space.com,businesstech/cold plasma.they have been working on it since 2000. Rutherford Appleton labs,are also in experimental mode. Biomolecular D.E.Shaw force field development. You can bet there further advanced than there letting on.

Not saying that the tech wont arrive in service ever but id prefer to discuss whats actually in service at the moment or at least in prototype form. Emerging tech is just that, noone for sure knows if and when it will be available for service.The best part of repentance is the sin
