Its their dumb idea but yeah

Cut back our spending increase theirs

Makes it harder to get back to where we are now.

If Trump starts getting ou budget in the green they cant really undo it without undoubtedly showing they are not for America.

Someone posted this in reply to the same post I put up earlier.

It's all I can do not reply "YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT."

Very low IQ individuals.

SUPREME VICTORY

Trump just needs to back out period

stop calling it huffpo

and start calling it huffpaint

you know what annoys me

retard leftists

saying the "country is dead"

STFU you retards you know nothing about the country

and if you do, you want it to die

otherwise you wouldn't be a faggot leftist

imagine hating EVERYTHING about America, and then having the audacity to imply you like it or something STFU

Let them say its dead

That defeatist nature will cause less to go to the polls

Ymwe should just leave the U.N. entirely but it is a good start

Fuel it

It means we win.

NATO is 600 billion its a good start

Charity begins at home

We need to make sure our people our taken care of so any chance to go the democrat way requires actively fucking the American people to do their nonsense.

I love how he roasted those EU fags

Let Russia eat them alive.

Then we can have trade deals with just Russia.

bu-bu- muh russain collusion

Please if the russians could rig the election the dems would have done it

USS Tennessee (BB-43) , 1943

While only using 14inch guns, the Tennessee and her sister ship USS California (BB-44) were considered some of the most powerful ships in the US navy in 1941.

Both ships would survive Pearl Harbor, however they'd be damaged to the point where by the time they were back in service newer and more modern ships had completely outclassed them.

In 1944 however they'd get one last shot at fame when they engaged the two Japanese battleships that they'd been built in response to. the IJN Fuso and IJN Yamashiro and along with the aid of their escorts sank both ships.

Back when the name California was cool

USS Missouri leading USS Iowa into Tokyo Bay, Japan, August 30th, 1945. destroyer USS Nicholas in escort.

If she hadn't been damaged in a battle beforehand the USS Enterprise would have been the ship to accept the Japanese surrender instead of the Missouri.

i love warships

it's a shame the days of naval combat are pretty much over

at least manly lead-slinging combat

one of these days i want to go around the world and look at different countries' museum ships

shame the bismarck, tirpitz, yamato and musashi were all destroyed. would've been hella impressive to be able to see them in person

At least the americans have 8 battleships left and Greece has a Pre-ww1 battlescruiser

Know what would give me a freedom boner? Nuclear powered battleships w/ railguns instead of conventional guns ❤ Sadly there's no justifications for it lmao

yeah by the time railguns are tenable they will be able to just fit them on destroyers.

which i still am not sure why the navy is pursuing railguns, earth's curvature puts a hard limit on the range of something with a shallow firing arc like that

aircraft mounted railguns, though...

or, you know, orbital ones

that might actually be a really efficient weapons system, just collect solar energy to power it and fire low-mass inert projectiles through it... easy to get into orbit and rearm, compared to missiles or something

With our focus on anti-missile tech, I can't say it's too crazy that we'd also be researching tech for (relatively) close combat that wouldn't be able to be stopped by the same tech.

that's fair. still, being limited to within 20-30 miles of the coast kinda sucks

That's international waters baby, totally legal to patrol ❤ Then when ya need to, BOOM.

Don't get me wrong, being able to strike from the other side of the world is pretty hot too, but it's nice seeing sci-fi tech come to fruitation. Gives you hope for the future, yanno?

yeah it's cool

i'd be concerned about weaponizing space though tbh

going back to orbital railguns or something, that just gives the controller of that system the ability to obliterate anything you want, anywhere at any time without any of the consequences of deploying nukes

that's a lot of power to put in the hands of one government with no balancing

i think we signed a treaty or something not to weaponize space, but with the whole space force thing not sure if that's out the window or not

From my understand we've signed a treaty that doesn't allow for WMDs in space

But ship to ship or ship to satellite "combat" should be fair game

And let's be honest, if you took out a country's satellites and disallowed use of your own to them they'd be struggling

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty

"It exclusively limits the use of the Moon and other celestial bodies to peaceful purposes and expressly prohibits their use for testing weapons of any kind, conducting military maneuvers, or establishing military bases, installations, and fortifications (Article IV)"

"However, the Treaty does not prohibit the placement of conventional weapons in orbit and thus some highly destructive attack strategies such as kinetic bombardment are still potentially allowable."

i guess that answers my question

Honestly from what I'd heard about kinetic bombardment I figured they'd be classified under WMDs, but ey I'm not complaining lol

there's probably a line somewhere where it becomes a WMD if it destroys a large enough area or something

ie the size and speed of projectiles you're sending down

although the definition of WMDs is pretty contentious as far as i know

Yeah probably, I just don't know those numbers lol. I just figured with the way the US works we'd go big or go home

yeah

imagine the butthurt though if we put kinetic bombardment weapons into space

"AMERICA HOLDS WORLD AT GUNPOINT"

Haters gonna hate hate hate~

Unless we go full on socialism the world's gonna hate, so fuck em

problem is eventually another evil globalist type is going to become president and have access to these weapons

You're right, one day we won't have our shitposter in chief 😢 I try not to think about that yet

I'm praying that my boat will get a presidential unit citation from him though. Would be one of my prized possessions.

which boat?

SSN-23 USS Jimmy Carter

oh nice

Historically we've gotten similar awards and our predecessors have gotten them as well. It'd just be nice knowing I was wearing it from the god emperor himself 😛

no fucking way i'd want to be in a submarine though lol

Honestly it's not as bad as it seems

the ocean is scureh

Just imagine your house is attached to your workplace and you never leave either

I'm not overly attached to much so going away for months at a time with little to no contact isn't too much of a biggie for me. All that sucked was that I only had the same 500 songs to listen to and my phone broke half way through our last deployment XD

lol

i think i'd just be slightly phobic of the idea of being underwater for an extended period of time

Depending on your job you may not even notice XD I spend the majority of my day on the boat, so going underway/underwater was the same shit except I didn't sleep in my bed at my house.

When you actually notice you're underwater is when you're close to the surface and the boat rocks back and forth

Which is also the best sleep you'll get

yeah i love being on surface boats. the motion is so relaxing

same with flying

but anyway yeah, space weapons definitely double edged sword

Rail guns are actually p good

imagine hillary is president and tom's house gets mysteriously wiped off the map with no way to trace it or prove what happened

There’s already Lasers on US ships

actual lasers that shoot down missiles and planes

yeah

still limited to line of sight with those though

Indeed
