    U.S. military graded and it is awful!

    Our US Navy at best is weak.

    Here it is a very long but very accurate evaluation of our military capabilities.

    Let's hope our Military doesn't into a fight with a troop of Girl Scouts.

      IMHO the US Military has been an amateur act for the last 50-60 years. The Navy halted the Fitzgerald courts-martial because a lot of information came out about "sailors" who didn't know the first thing about seamanship. Vietnam was the bloody fiasco it was because, as one Army general said "Too many battalion and brigade commanders were trying to punch their tickets instead of actually lead".

        The US lost in Vietnam for the same reason the French lost in the Vietnam. Military operations and political fiddling seldom produce winning results. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.

          Lyndon Johnson personally picked bombing targets, selecting targets that had no real value, and cost a lot of lives to attak.
