This is another visible indication our military strength is in terminal decline.

Americans by and large won't understand the significance until it's too late, a day I fear is going to be upon us much sooner than anyone could've guessed just a few decades ago.

I strongly suspect many veterans understand this intuitively, which is why they're telling their children to steer clear of the military.

You severely underestimate our military and probably have never served.

You have no idea what we have developed.

Tell me, how long before China's navy, which has far surpassed us numerically in the last few years, has an insurmountable advantage? Leveraging their massive civilian shipbuilding yards, They already have the ability to build new ships many times faster, each generation far better than the last.

We have few shipyards left, can't build new ones, and it's impossible to catch up at this point.

So please, in this simple example, by what miracle will we stop their meteoric rise to naval dominance? I'm all ears armchair warrior.

Skipping over small details like our submarine fleet response capability etc... This is a fear and scare, sales pitch piece for more tax payer money to the military industrial complex . Which only considers it's own profit margin. Not the security of the United States.
