If we didn't have a war mongering president they wouldn't need to have shiny new toys.

We will never get a non-war mongering president because of the military industrial complex.

Quote:SIMI VALLEY Calif. (Reuters) – The U.S. military’s ability to stay ahead of technology advances by other countries and respond to multiple crises around the world is already in jeopardy and will get worse unless mandatory budget cuts are reversed, top U.S. officials warned on Saturday.
Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan Greenert told Reuters the Navy would have to cut forces and reduce its ability to position ships around the world if lawmakers did not ease or reverse the cuts, which are due to resume in fiscal 2016.
There is no satisfying them. The country is falling apart and they still want shiny new toys.
Meanwhile, our enemies try to explode their underwear.
Aren't all your current enemies land locked?
And aren't your ships several generations ahead of the nearest contender.

Doesn't really matter. Naval vessels are more than capable of delivering missile strikes and air power hundreds of miles inland. An aircraft carrier is one helluva mobile platform.

Virtually everything the US has is.
But the rest of the world is hoping the US military budget shrinks. New Zealand and Finland are simply waiting for our moment in history when the US has merely 4-5 times the effective fighting power of the rest of the world, then we're going to swoop down like a wolf on the fold and pick your bones clean. Mwa ha ha.
