it's funny reading the chest thumping here by posters putting down American military might- oh well, every so often you have folks who have failed at remembering history and fall into the trap of repeating itself. I guess people forget Cuban missile crisis and how US stared down USSR blocked them and they retreated. it's funny how they forget how the US took on many more powerful nations where the parity of the military might of those were at par or greater and won... but who cares about " history".
The U.S. Navy is the largest in the world; its battle fleet tonnage is greater than that of the next 13 largest navies combined.
Us military technology is more than 20 plus years ahead of China
Those who own the skies own the battlefield...

"The F-22 was not built to fight a fair fight," Brenton says.
