Projection of power has prevented more wars than it's caused. Korea? China/Taiwain/HongKong. Germany during the cold war? The fact that each countries allies could mount a rapid response to any invasion kept the aggressors at bay.

Our nuclear arsenal seems like more of a deterrent to me than an Osprey, would really work great for us now(where is Truman when you need him). Save us the cost of getting rid of nukes later too.

So you are a proponent of nuking anybody who we are at war with.



You have fun with that.

So much for a serious discussion. :eyeroll:

What good has limited war EVER done us? War shouldn't be something we play at, we're either "in it to win it" or we should save the expense for more productive uses(a real reach here talking about gov't spending).

So nuclear war is winning?

I found this from site Kazuaki posted here http://www.g2mil.com/Duma.htm.

I have not read OPEVAL II myself yet but if this is correct then I have to admit that I have had too rosy idea of V-22 Osprey.
