Anti gravity anyone??

The U.S. Military is so far ahead in their jet technology and yet they keep pouring many billions and replacing planes that are still the best in their class. They seem to do this in everything even though the opponents they fight basically use Kalashnikov rifles and improvised explosives. The sad part is because of the growing U.S. debt there might come a time when they're forced to cut back when the money might be needed more.

The debt really isnt that big of a deal. Most of it is what the government owes itself. The foreign debt is a trade off for the immense of crap we buy from all of the other nations, so that is really good for them. The only real problem is the way america's image is going further and further down as it's military/economic superiority goes up. All empires fall in on themselves. I just hope i recognize that before it happens so I can jump ship. Again...cant wait til 2008.

I'm not so sure about economic superiority, the nations that are rising are fiercly competitive and many have unfair advantages (like China).

True that.

So many letters and numbers!! F117... F-22... F-35... B2... How hard is it to just call them airplanes?
