Leave for three years, I have quite repeatedly returned to the Rappelz game. I continue for good equipment to buy rupees. Three years of time I have played many games, but no a game can let me real input. By now I have found that the original is the lack of a person accompanying me.

Colleen, thanks for the rant. Wonderful punctuation btw. Now, take another deep hit off that crack pipe you are smoking, and stop your off-topic whining.

People here are thinking too small. An old army Sgt. told me he was stationed on the DMZ for a while way back in the day. The Norks poured across the border and killed some American soliders. We fought them back to their side, then the CO ordered nuclear rounds from howitzer’s lobbed at them. So they were. Another nuclear exchange that you never knew about. They are just waiting to fire up those guns again.

Boy, the retards are out in force today. Must be field trip day.
The reasons we don’t use old battleships are numerous. For one, they’re expensive as all hell, not only to build, but to maintain, as well. Not to mention those things are too antiquated, and don’t have the power systems to operate a modern radar system. You overestimate their durability as well. Battleships weren’t invulnerable in WWII, and they aren’t today either. The difference is, when a battleship sinks, you lose 1000+ sailors, instead of the hundred or so on a DDX. One mine is all it takes, and those things will sink like a stone.

Anyone want to explain why, more than 53 years after a cease fire was signed between North Korea and the U.S., there is still no peace treaty between the two? Or why the U.S. fails to answer the DPRK’s calls for a peace treaty?
Enemies are good. They justify a whole bunch of stuff that you couldn’t otherwise do … what would a hot war in Asia accomplish, aside of course from further global destablization, more indirect economic attrition of American citizens, higher profits for military industrialists, etc.?

The Navy Admirals/Defense Contractors strike again. Betting on the DDX Destroyers with their paper thin plating, 5 inch guns, slow speeed. I believe the cost of one round is $1,000,000 each. Their stealth capabilities are useless now since China, Austraila, France, etc. have bought the next generation of radar. These ships cannot be reloaded from the sea they have to go back to a base to be reloaded. In addition, the first ship will not be ready until 2010.
The Battleships not just two of them but all four of them need to be recommissioned. Yes, these ships are 60 years old but what about the B-52 Bombers. Aren’t they over 50 years old? They are still in service and keep on getting upgraded. Why not the Battleships? The Battleships were designed to go toe to toe with the Japanese 18″ guns and survive. During WWII, the Battleship USS Carolina (smaller battleship than the Iowa Class) took a torpedo hit from a Japanese sub. The Carolina was not damaged and continued the fight. This torpedo was load with 2,000 pounds of TNT, almost the same amount used on the USS Cole. The Cole almost sunk. Currently, there is nothing out their as far as the anti ship missles that would put a scratch in the Iowa Class Battleships. In 1968, the military already had tested rounds fired from the 16″ guns that had a range of 100 miles. These ships are fast. They can do up to 35 knots. They can refuel other ships. They have the facilities to serve as a hospital. They have served as an additional air traffic controllers. These ships can hold a ton of supplies. They could sustain shore bombardment for a week/s where the DDX (approximately 20 DDXs would be needed to equal the firepower of one Battleship) and in two to three days would have to leave to get resupplied. The history of the ships prove how valuable they have been in the US war efforts. These ships can save many lives (There is no dollar amount that you can assign to a life)and aircrafts. Plus if there is bad weather, where are you going to get your air support if needed. It would take numerous flights (aircraft at appx $350 million each)to deliver the same amount of firepower from one shell from a Battleship.
Finally, please see the Commentary dated 6/18/06, the “Iranian Threat Defined” by William L. Stearman.
In August 2002, the Pentagon Joint Forces war game, Millennium Challenge 2002 (Persian Gulf Area), the Red(Iranian) Team headed by ace war gamer Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper USMC (Ret.), launched a salvo of cruise missles, including Sunburns, from aircraft, small ships, and shore batteries which overwhelmed the Aegis cruiser defense and sank 16 Blue Team (US)ships including an aircraft carrier, Aegis cruisers, and six amphibious ships. (Gen. Van Riper’s far to realistic scenario was disallowed and remains closely-held by the Pentagon).

A comment on the “lets use the old WWII Battleships ” posting .
This battleships were magnificent and pretty much invincible –in the 1940s.As you say they could sail up and down the coast of the two Koreas and shell the hell out of something .And nothing could stop them –unless you count a nuclear device as a threat ? Hello! Massive ground or sea operations against a quirky nuclear power — no there is a plan with a few big IFs in it..
