At least the LCS is being cut back by 20 ships.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

QuoteIn more recent budget and strategy documents, the military has been ordered to be prepared to decisively win one conflict while holding off an adversary's aspirations in a second until sufficient forces could be mobilized and redeployed to win there


The Schlieffen Plan part II, what could possibly go wrong?

Oh, I think we could keep Mexico at bay while we invade Canada, or vice-versa.

They'll challenge us to a winner-take-all game of hockey, and, soon afterward, we will all have universal healthcare.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Germany First Strategy Part II, what could possibly go wrong?

So long as a part of that strategy is still to keep the Canadians sitting on their asses guarding a place that can't be invaded, and allow the Aussies to take point, I like that strategy.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Canada can be diploannexed.
Not with relations as low as they are.

Your Guardian comment column jackass of the day:

QuoteDespite 'historic' cuts, the US will still have 450,000 active-duty soldiers
The Pentagon is able to maintain a bloated and extravagant military force even when the US faces no actual security threats

Lolz.
