Meet the Navy's 5 Super Weapons of the Future (Think Stealth, Hypersonic Weapons and More)

Michael Peck at Test Feed Using Fields - 18 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Here are five key systems that will give the U.S. Navy an edge well into the 21st Century. The U.S. Navy has been the most powerful naval force in the world since 1943. But that supremacy is being challenged as Russia, and especially China, field ever-more sophisticated systems, including aircraft carriers, quiet submarines and hypersonic missiles. Navies that don’t evolve are doomed to defeat, and America is no exception. But the U.S. Navy has a plethora of new equipment on the drawing boards, the shipyards and the factories. Here are five key syste... more »

I stand by that statement and my company, which consists of independent contractors, does not include women. I do work with men of all ethnicities. In the areas where we often go (we don't operate in the USA), a woman, alone is a rape target. Why put a woman in that situation? *The third world is not politically correct.* It's funny to watch USGOV send women into places to serve in posts, best served by men.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union bankrupted itself with an obsessive need to match U.S. capabilities such as ballistic missile defense. China won't make that same mistake China's military isn't just aiming for mere parity or deterrence with the U.S., but rather military victory in a potential Sino-American war.

The Book of Enoch I

I am finally tackling the Book of Enoch which we now know to be contemporaneous with the creation of the Bible itself and plausibly contemporaneous with Mose or about 1200 BC at least. Understand that the Bible is a translation from earlier work and this must include the book of Enoch. However, it could well be a first generation translation. Long lived scribes allowed language to be sustained far past the normal five century maximum and that meant scribal languages held the knowledge far longer than we have experienced.
