What the fuck was Obama getting at with we don't use bayonets anymore? We still have our combat knives ready to attach to the bayonet lugs of our rifles whenever ordered to by our commanding officer, congrats on being wrong on that Obama. Right about the horses thing though, but that's 'cause we've replaced horses with armored vehicles and aircraft.
It was a figure of speech criticising Romney's perception that the number of ships was indicative of how the US Navy is faring. Technological and combative capabilities of the US Navy has far surpassed the Navy's need to win a battle of superiority on number of ships. Obama was pointing out that Romney's criticism has as much relevance as complaining that enough wasn't being spent other outdated notions of warfare. It was not a literal statement.

Would of been better if he mentioned something we don't actually use instead of saying bayonets. Spears, lances, pikes, axes, swords, etc. come to mind.

You should be alarmed that you're at the level where any bizarre thing you write is taken as legit. I could fully see you supporting someone for office because you thought they were lucky.

Probably

Actually I wasn't, I didn't go all nuts with Romney. Romney only held is own against Obama.

I knew you'd come on and be all awash in admiration for Romney after listening to what conservative pundits had to say about the debate.
Funny, I knew you were gonna keep on ranting about Romney over, over, over, and over, over over over, repeat. Also constantly ranting the same way about things you disagree with. You remind me of myself whenever I just vent on about something I disagree with in a videogame, good thing I don't rant as much as you've lately been doing, though.

Edit: All the male moderators were fine in all the debates, it's the females that sucked.

Ha. haha. hahahahaha
AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

e: Also, no. This guy let so much slip. Whatever happened to answering the god-damned question and not overrunning your allotted time?

This 'all politicians suck' thing is boring. There is nothing wrong with saying one person or party is genuinely better than the other.

Predictable pessimism. meh

one place i agree with flaming maniac - don't compromise your ideals for the sake of compromising. It is OK to not give concessions for something as important as electing someone to represent you in government. Saying one side is better than the other is giving away to a slippery slope of conceding that you would rather be fucked in the ass by a 5 inch weiner than a 7 inch dong. Yes, you're right, one is more desirable than the other. Doesn't mean you're squealing with delight at the opportunity (well maybe you are, not me). Next week you'll be debating the choice of a 10 inch mandingo and a horse cock.

Sorry, I choose neither. when you realize you compromised your vision of government faster than a coke whore with a bad habit and tight pussy for the guy who's promised to tear your asshole into a 3 inch gape instead of a 6 incher you'll be wondering why you made the decision and shitting yourself in a pair of pullups.

They're so relevant that the use of them made the fucking news when they were used in Basra. Obama's point was that comparing the modern military to that of a hundred years ago is fucking stupid. Romney just wants to spend militarily for political capital.

And Romney's previous point before that comment was that we are not providing the amount of ships the Navy asks for and we're continuing to decrease in ships.

Maybe because you have too many ships?

ROGUEDD: BF2s. A Liberal Gang of Faggots.; +452|5679|Fuck this.

The United States of America has the largest navy in the world, with a battle fleet tonnage that is greater than that of the next 13 largest navies combined. It consists of 287 ships, 11 of which are nuclear powered supercarriers that have no equal. Also, the navy gets the most advanced technology we have to offer well before the other branches. Any notion that our navy is anything less the the largest of its kind and most effective method of projecting force anywhere on the globe at the drop of a hat is ridiculous.

Now explain how we need to throw more money at it.

romney and obama are as qualified as warman on being able to decide military strategy. I guess those quips are supposed to be extrapolated to policy on a macro level? Or is the moderator just throwing softies and the candidates are doing this:

I'd say Obama's four years as CINC make him more qualified than either Romney or Warman.

I think our naval warplanes need bayonets so they can stab helicopters. Also, putting bayonets on our smaller vessels could make them useful for ramming Chinese cargo ships.

I have to admit though, the idea of airborne horses in power armor is awesome. We could give our guys maces and swords and shit and drop them over Iran too.

OK I guess. Military strategy should be made by people who have experience in military strategy, not pandering. It's really hard for me to take either of them seriously. I can't in good conscience vote for either one.

For the number 1 geopolitical foe, I was disappointed Romney didn't talk more about Russia.

The parallels to Palin were so close!

Palin is more qualified than Romney because she can see Russia from her house.

Now explain how we need to throw more money at it.

Actually we are going to being retiring at least 1 aircraft carrier, the USS Enterprise. Which needs to go anyway. Possibly retiring 2 more carriers.

My reason is simple, the future is uncertain, and history constantly teaches us the lesson to always stay LEAGUES ahead of other nations and leave no opportunity to catch up. I do agree we need to get rid of almost all overseas military bases, starting with ones in Western Europe. We can easily create new bases on those areas if necessary compared to regaining lost military strength if we were to downsize our military.

The military is basically a jobs program meant for people who don't have any other opportunities in life. So I guess putting money into it is sort of like passing a stimulus.
