A serious proposal to cut defense spending

Are you retarded? I just provided a link that quotes the Undersecretary of the Navy saying that nothing would survive but submarines. From 2012. In front of Congress.

Are you retarded? Because we weren't talking about if parking a carrier task force in the straits of Hormuz was a good idea. We were talking about the capabilities of fast attack ships and whether the US had taken steps to mitigate the issues raised in the 2002 war games.

You claimed, according to a single member of the navy, that we're hadnt. You were wrong, and even provided the evidence to show it. The second claim you've tried to make is the system we have isn't ready. Assuming you're correct, it doesn't matter, because were not at war with Iran right Now and it doesn't need to be ready. The fact that we have working models is enough to demonstrate we took those exercises serioiusly,. This, again, vindicates what I was saying.

What wasn't being discussed was how many ships we can make sitting targets if we allow the straits to be closed.

Pay attention to what a discussion is actually about.

Incorrect. I claimed that the General said we were unprepared - true - and that the Navy had eliminated the entire point of the wargame by forcing him to abide by a scripted response... also true.

I also pointed out that it wasn't until a decade later that serious efforts were made to address these problems, and it wouldn't be until 2019 at the earliest that these solutions would be deployed. That a defense contractor decided to develop a system on it's own doesn't indicate any widespread acceptance of a problem within the Navy itself. You do understand that Lockheed-Martin is not the Navy, right?

But go ahead and delude yourself all you want. It is pretty clear you are just making shit up at this point.
