The US is the most powerful military force on Earth................until we put boots on the ground and try to occupy a region. Our military leaders know how to win, but civilians won't let them do so.

The jury is still out on this one. A rear admiral was quoted as saying the cargo ship made a u-turn before the collision.

I agree. The US didn't become the power it is by going along to get along. If that was our past position we'd still be part of the U.K.

Fiercely independent people and rugged individualists built this country. Not snowflakes.

I personally would not worry about the superiority of the American Air Force.. We will lose the next war which will be a war on cyber.. We have spent billions of dollars to protect ourselves from terrorist.. Terrorism is a cheap way of fighting a war against an enemy. Handwriting is on the wall our students so far inferior to the rest of the world technologically speaking.. This will never change... it's too late...Keep building billion-dollar fighter planes and billion-dollar destroys they can't get out of the way of a cargo ship..
