Some late night thoughts, from my classmate forum.

GUYS, YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THE NEWS CLIP OF PRESIDENT TRUMP VISITING THE NEW AIRCRAFT CARRIER

GERALD FORD BEING BUILT.

IT SHOULD BE SEA WORTHY IN FIVE MORE YEARS--- AT A PROJECTED COST OF 13 BILLION DOLLARS.

THE F-35 FIGHTERS ARE AN EXTRA OF $100,000,000 EACH--- FUEL AND SPARE PARTS -EXTRA.

AS MY SON POINTED OUT- EACH CONFLICT IS DIFFERENT.

MY FIRST THOUGHTS WERE "HOLY CAMOLY".

THEN I THOUGHT- WELL WE HAVE TO BE ONE STEP AHEAD IN THIS GAME OF BEING THE MOST POWERFUL NATION

ON EARTH.

HOWEVER, MY DAMNED MIND WON'T JUST LET IT BE.

THE WORLD SEEMS TO BE IN TECHNOLOGICAL GEOMETRIC PROGRESSION.

I TRY TO PRETEND I AM A FLY ON THE WALL IN 2021.
RUSSIA IS BREAKING IT'S BANK TO KEEP UP OR BEAT US IN THIS GAME.

SHIPS WITH THE HIGHEST TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE A FEW YEARS AGO, ARE NOW VULNERABLE.

VERY EXPENSIVE AIRPLANES TAKE OFF TO FIGHT OTHER FIGHTERS----- THEY WILL NEVER SEE EACH OTHER.

THEIR DETECTION DEVICES TELL THEM WHEN TO PUSH A BUTTON.

BUT!!!! NEWLY DISCOVERED TECHNOLOGY NEGATES THE DETECTION DEVICE-- AND THE MISSLES WILL MISS.

SO WHAT DO WE DO?

NOTHING. JUST PLAY THE GAME OUT.
