During Monday’s third and final presidential debate, Mitt Romney
attacked the Obama administration for advocating for cuts to the
military when some aspects of the armed forces are out of date or
undermanned. President Barack Obama challenged Romney’s
assertion, lacking knowledge about precisely what forces the military
needs and proceeded to explain that the military now has weapons systems
like aircraft carriers and submarines.
“Our Navy is smaller now than at any time since 1917,” said Romney.
“The Navy said they needed 313 ships to carry out their mission. We’re
now at 285.”
“I think Gov. Romney maybe has not spent enough time looking at how
our military works,” Obama shot back. “We also have fewer horses and
bayonets because nature of our military has changed. “There are these
things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them. We have these
ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines.”
“The question is not a game of Battleship, where we’re counting ships, it’s what are our capabilities,” Obama concluded.

This is what happens when you flip flop and don't use facts.
Very much so with foreign policy because people actually get scared when you elect or almost elect a person like this and then they speak their minds, which is going on as I type.

This alone shows you that Mittens is not ready to become POTUS. All I got tonight that he has a website and that he has a 5 point or 7 point plan, yet has 0 common sense. Just like his mom and dad poor Mittens is going to lose its in his genes. He might be a great businessman but he ain't no statesman.

As much as I hate these politicians you are right about the statesman part, republicans through that out with Palin, and the hits keep coming.

This guy dreamed of a more streamlined modern and mighty military force too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Rumsfeld
But yet when a Democrat attempts to accomplish nearly the very same thing he gets accused of cutting back on military strength instead of getting a pat on the back for furthering Rummy's dream of creating a smaller, faster but much more powerful military force.

A submarine is not a ship. They are not called ships, except maybe by people who know nothing about them. If you're going to be a douchebag, don't be an ignorant douchebag. That goes for all 57 states.

@Juujigun
Why is a submarine classified as a boat and not as a ship?
"The Navy considers all vessels ships; however, submarines are historically referred to as boats due to the nature of the first submarines. A boat in Naval terminology is a vessel that is launched or tended from a larger ship. The earliest submarines required support vessels to maintain and launch them, hence they were termed boats.
The term "boat" goes back to the earliest days of submarine history, when su More..
