  1. Artur, what I love is each branch of the military in the US brag...as they should. But the NAVY runs the show. People forget the MARINES are NAVY, the SEALS are NAVY, the CARRIERS are NAVY. MARSOC are NAVY. So go on about your army special forces and whatnot but military folk know where everyone goes who wants to be special. ;)

  2.  @kandle4444  A running joke is the realization that the US NAVY has it's own Air Force. So Air Force, suck it.

  3. I mean I know we've had this convo. Why we have a conversation about the US military strength is so silly. The US plays in the realm of UFOs. It's not even close. A pilot needn't really fight; the fighter itself has already suggested what to do. This isn't even a fair fight. It's so funny to me that these countries using third and fourth generation fighter trying to fight with the F-35 is silly. And consider this.....The US sells the F-35 in all versions! They don't sell shit they need to be worried about. People are funny. They don't sell the F-22 because that thing is an F-35's nightmare. The F-35 was MEANT for export. We were selling second level tech. And THAT tech is STILL killer tech. But it can't match what we have even ABOVE that.

  4. Their issue is military spending. One reason the US can create these weapons systems is we print the world's money. We literally can create wealth. Doing so obviously creates inflation but it's the dollar.

  5.  @T-Dawg123a  Brilliant point.

  6.  @T-Dawg123a  And they don't need to. The US has 12 carriers. It's not like the US would allow anything bad to happen to Britain.

  7.  @T-Dawg123a  I mean 12 fully armed carriers.

  8. Artur, Admirals are basically "generals". It's the highest rank. The rank of admiral (or full admiral, or four-star admiral) is the highest rank normally achievable in the U.S. Navy. It ranks above vice admiral (three-star admiral) and below fleet admiral (five-star admiral). So she's up there ;)
