Really should be a wake up call for the country. Ah, Socialism  |
yeah all true to some extent, though we are still along way from full blown socialism - even though the bank bailouts were blatantly 'socialism to save capitalism' as Ron Paul so rightly put it.
Going back to ships, we must remember that apart from Aircraft carriers, large surface warships pretty much became obsolete not long after WW2.
I wouldnt be suprised to see the tank phased out in a few decades. They've been talking about it since the 80's, I guess its only a matter of time.
