that is the coolest damn thing i've seen. that would be awesome to see that in active service. i would be pretty surprised to see the first one roll out while i'm still in uniform though.

"Larger than a city, the Joint Mobile Offshore Base will keep freedom fighters safe in hostile terrain." Crap, you mean we're arming the Taliban again?

I don’t know,.........but that never stopped me before.
I’ve always wondered why we have 170k soldiers in Germany. Who are they going to fight?
I think this partially comes from Rumsfeld’s vision of a more automated force with unmanned aircraft and small surgical strikes.
Maybe they need more troops here to control the populace when their new constitution is applied to us.
Maybe they have visions of just turning offending nations to glass with ICBMs.
I read somewhere the stash of heavy armor and spare parts in Germany had been exhausted in the 2 of the current wars, which was causing problems in Iraq. I wonder if that stash will be recreated?
It would mean a lot of money spent overseas would now be spent here, therefore WalMart would have to build less stores.
Uh,.....I don’t know.

Ain't it though? Here's another system that they are envisioning.
