If you want a fun quick read, pick up George Friedman's The Next 100 years

Amazon.com: The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century (9780385517058): George Friedman: Books

He talks about how US domination of the oceans is an unwritten cornerstone of our policy to command the global economy.

RIJIMMY wouldn't like the book. It paints a quite positive vision of the future that conflicts with his dark and pessimistic outlook of what America's full potential really is.

Our potential is limitless, our courage to obtain it is what is lacking.

you cannot rule this out.......

of course .....

then ....everyone argues about how long it'll take
for them to travel a trillion light years-> and all that...

But this doesn't apply when you can travel
from another dimension in time.

or travel from one dimension to another.

the most ancient of all languages ...
in every case ....translates the word "god"
in the plural sense....

translated it means:

"those that came from space"

The Navy is 14 billion in the RED in Fiscal 2010. The doctrine has the Air Force ruling the skys over sea and air.
There is no other major Navy, we just need to escort our commercial fleet through the areas of international piracy which seems to be every but where the Navy is.

If you had read the book you'd understand why this is true.

Freidman's point isn't that it's Navy doctrine. If you're heading from the base to Mansfield, I'm probably right on your way...feel free to stop by and I'll loan you my copy of the book.

No, it's a book by someone who doesn't write Navy doctrine, but who does have credibility on the subject of predicting future events.

The Navy bit is but a small part of the book.
