Armor is mostly obsolete in the modern era. Our ships need speed, reach, stealth, and punching power.

Jesus I'm reading more about this. This is fucking infuriating. 250M... for an elaborate military play...

This is really concerning. Is it hubris??? Our top guys can't accept they got their asses kicked and figure out new methods? They just change the rules? They're acting like some spoiled brat. Jesus

The problem is that officer purges takes decades to fix.

Unlike lawyers, you cant just go and find another replacement. All flag officers must be developed internally.

Sure its devastating to watch, but thats so imprecise and wasteful.

Also, we need to become a blue water Navy again focused on major fleet engagements at sea with a peer competitor. Battleships dont give us that.

We need a Frigate replacement, we need more destroyers, and we need to increase the standoff range of our carriers. Finally, we desperately need to develop our UAV and UUV capabilities to perform combat missions, not just ISR.
