“You mentioned the Navy, for example — that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military’s changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land… we have ships that go underwater — nuclear submarines. And so the question is not a game of ‘Battleship,’ where we’re counting ships.”
— President Obama during the final debate
Ya know – yes, the nature of our military has changed because the nature of transportation has changed. Shipping (et. al.) was A primary mode of transportation almost 100 years ago, 1916. Try a comparison to the Gulf War …. ya fucking dork (Mitt, that is)
