Fake Navy News!!An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others. This power can not be used carelessly or recklessly. This power can do great harm. We have seen more suffering than any man should ever see, and if there is going to be an end to it, it must be an end that justifies the cost. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

Am presuming the Chinese got their act together since they got the aircraft carrier from the Russians (EDIT: The Ukrainians). Were itially struggling badly with carrier aircraft opsLast edited by Truck Driver; 27 April 2017, 19:10."Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home.
