History and were doomed to repeat it

[Gawdzilla Sama]

And those battleships were WWI vintage, with one exception. And most of the fleet was in mothballs. 

BTW, I was talking about the size of our army compared to Bulgaria's. Nothing was said about a budget.

Yes, and the threat we face from Canada and Mexico was clearly more severe and unpredictable than those faced by a Bulgaria in the Balkanized balkans, requiring a large land army for our survival.

As a matter of fact, the US had more post WWI vintage battleships in its fleet between the wars than anyone else-3-to Britain and Japan's 2 each, and effectively 0 for everyone else until around 1938.

As to the rest of our poor world I vintages battle fleet, what will it ever do against everyone else's world war I vintage battle fleets?

I'm going to skip your pinball posts. Sorry.
