    Ron Beasley commented on the post, Chinese Navy “on track for a future role as a maritime power capable to pose a threat to the U.S. naval forces in the Asia-Pacific theatre”: Cenciotti 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    This is not so much the Pentagon as the Congress Critters who are getting big bucks from defense contractors. The congress continually gives the Pentagon stuff they don’t want.
