| #4 There is enough here to make the hairs on my neck stand up; while our offensive and defensive systems are top notch, the comments about old fighter aircraft laden with fuel and ordnance strike me as a real threat. We have put all our eggs for many years in high tech (read: expensive) weapons systems, at the expense of numbers. And the odds makers will tell you that it only takes one lucky hit to kill a ship / tank/ plane, etc. A war of attrition is not one that we would come out of in good shape. So that leave the only option to be one of decapitating the enemy. But that requires knowing when he intends to strike and be there before that. I can only hope the guys that have access to all the good information have that point on their radar. |
