This is a distraction to take everyone’s mind off of the possibility of defunding Obamacare. We should re-double our efforts of contacting our congressmen to ask them to defund it.
Uh, that’s actually still 12 carrier groups. Which, not counting the number of carriers, anyone paid attention to how many support ships are in each group, and how much it costs to keep them at sea? Okay, then throw in that most of our efforts are now done with cruise missiles that can be launched from many cheaper sources, and besides “flying the flag”, exactly where IS the place for the aircraft carrier in the “modern” way of war?
And Congress doesn’t know what to do when a President hands them back their Constitutional duty to declare war, before we take, other then defensive, military action.
