Ours on the sand, theirs below the waves.<\/p>\n
I’ve recently shown you articles that take a look at the role<\/a> the M1-series tank is currently playing in Iraq and have stated the I view the Stryker as a complement rather than a competitor<\/a> to the tank. Now, columnist Austin Bay<\/a> examines the continuing need<\/a> for the beast.<\/p>\n Like Mark Twain’s death, the demise of the tank has been “greatly exaggerated.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Go there. Good read. Ug, me happy tanker.<\/p>\n Now, in the today’s very early hours I posted of a new Iranian submarine program<\/a> and hoped for feedback from Chapomatic<\/a>. He has obliged and generally disagreed with me<\/a>.<\/p>\n I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m probably biased because I have been known to be near some of those submarine things, but if I had the industrial base, a small submarine for coastal defense near a strait would be an effective naval choice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In my defense, I did not realize at the time that the program in question was for minisubs (such is the hazard of research via dial-up). I will concur that minisubs would have a great value in coastal affairs, but disagree by arguing that, in the highly-trafficked Persian Gulf, the minisub option has probably a extremely limited degree of hope in affecting travel through the Straits of Hormuz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ours on the sand, theirs below the waves.
