It's not grandeur

2018-09-07 16:49:52 UTC  

It's the ability to count

2018-09-07 16:49:58 UTC  

Not a good one

2018-09-07 16:50:08 UTC  

Uh...

2018-09-07 16:50:15 UTC  

You can refit and build an entire army in a year

2018-09-07 16:50:19 UTC  

A navy will take 30-50

2018-09-07 16:50:25 UTC  

It's static

2018-09-07 16:50:34 UTC  

So if say somebody inside the line turned on the other ships..

2018-09-07 16:50:34 UTC  

There are no surprises in naval warfare

2018-09-07 16:50:46 UTC  

Nothing would happen firstly

2018-09-07 16:50:52 UTC  

You would need the entire crew to turn

2018-09-07 16:50:56 UTC  

Which is unlikely

2018-09-07 16:51:02 UTC  

And then it's just one ship

2018-09-07 16:51:11 UTC  

Out of what, 800

2018-09-07 16:51:27 UTC  

It's one attack that was unexpected and would send ripples of mistrust.

2018-09-07 16:51:30 UTC  

Secondly aegis overlaps

2018-09-07 16:51:40 UTC  

So whatever one of our ships fires

2018-09-07 16:51:48 UTC  

Others within the same fleet can shoot it down

2018-09-07 16:52:24 UTC  

Think of a Carrier group as a Venn diagram with 12 circles overlapping

2018-09-07 16:52:34 UTC  

Those circles are the missile defense grids

2018-09-07 16:52:48 UTC  

They can shoot down anything coming into it with 11 back ups

2018-09-07 16:53:13 UTC  

So you think the military would be capable of surpressing insurgency on the homefront while waging war abroad as well?

2018-09-07 16:53:30 UTC  

Navy is entirely separate from land forces

2018-09-07 16:53:37 UTC  

And operates independently

2018-09-07 16:53:45 UTC  

I don't think it's unfeasible either.

2018-09-07 16:53:47 UTC  

What affects one does not affect the other directly

2018-09-07 16:53:53 UTC  

I know.

2018-09-07 16:53:58 UTC  

Just like the Airforce.

2018-09-07 16:54:06 UTC  

I'm well aware

2018-09-07 16:54:22 UTC  

But it's a strain on resources.

2018-09-07 16:54:27 UTC  

Airforce relies on combined arms

2018-09-07 16:54:31 UTC  

Of land forces

2018-09-07 16:54:36 UTC  

Navy has everything it needs

2018-09-07 16:54:47 UTC  

The military has an abundance of resources

2018-09-07 16:54:52 UTC  

So much that it's wasteful

2018-09-07 16:55:19 UTC  

To claim to know that loss is impossible would lead you to ruin.

2018-09-07 16:55:22 UTC  

We literally have way too much ammunition

2018-09-07 16:55:40 UTC  

@Summī Imperator, 呪い殿 An ant cannot overpower You? How foolhardy

2018-09-07 16:55:45 UTC  

Pride cometh before the fall

2018-09-07 16:56:11 UTC  

China cannot in any scenario defeat the United States in an offensive war

2018-09-07 16:56:18 UTC  

If our navy got nuked and cut in half
