The US Navy had plans to attack Japan in the nineteenth century. The plan called for establishing coaling (Refueling) bases across the pacific ocean. They would then engage the Japanese fleet in a set piece battle.
Now I am sorry again that I did not buy the book on Plan range.
A little off topic but what the heck.
I cannot understand what these politicians are saying. I just know that they want to keep their jobs.
Is there one of these people you would personally lend $100 and really think you would get it back?
Afghanistan? Check out a book called "The hunt for Bin Laden" By Robin Moore. It is the story of how Special Forces took over Afghanistan. I think that the mission of the Marines has grown too large. The Army does this stuff all the time and they have passed on the Osprey program. The Army studied the Osprey and then decided not to pursue it. The Osprey is such a esoteric machine, all sorts of helicopters exist, all sorts of fixed wing aircraft with short runway requirements exist.
The Marines should stick to their traditional roles, shipboard security and amphibious warfare. Leave the flying to the major services.
1. The Marines should be seaborne.
2. The services have great big transport aircraft which work quite well.
3. Helicopters are best at short distances.
4. Stealth would be a good thing in a helicopter.
5. The Pentagon cannot account for something like 1-Trillion dollars.
6. No other branch of the service seems to want this Osprey turkey.
7 The Osprey is a weapons program in search of funding and a mission.
The Osprey is too complicated and too expensive. When it is perfected and operates perfectly it will still be vunerable to dirt and one bullet.
Also, what is the point of these heinously expensive weapons systems? The cold war is over and these systems will do little in the war against terrorism. The money will go further invested in people.
The Osprey is a joke. It is yet another weapon program is search of a mission and funds. If the Marines were serious, they would purchase the H-60 Blackhawk at a fraction of the cost. See the following excellent article for a detailed explaination.

Start your own company and you will spend little time programming. You will spend much of your time running the business.
They HAVE Crosswalk buttons in NYC? Surely there are just for the tourists. I've never used on here, no point, just look for your chance and go.

Sure, Bush is so much smarter than Dean.
