My grandfather served in the US Navy during the Korean War.
I would have loved to see more comments from the 2 acting Air Force Chiefs of Staff that made cameo appearances on SG1, General Michael E. Ryan and General Jumper, both told the lead character "we have colonels like you and worse"
Anyone from the USS Alexandria (SSN-757) that was on Stargate continuum would have been a treat.
I understand avoiding HALO, after all an E-9 saves humanity and B5's nightwatch would be an obvious no-go zone
You guys have a great podcast.
How did y'all miss The Expanse for space naval combat? Torpedoes for ranged engagement, railguns at midrange, and point defence systems for anti-torpedo and close range.
Exactly to date the MOST REALISTIC space based combat ever.
We did not ignore the Expanse - the talk by CDR Salamander at 1:03:15 or CDR Armstrong's talk at the 2017 NavyCon ua-cam.com/video/s6JYogFMNnI/v-deo.html
@@usnamuseum9007 Thanks. A lot to get through. Although that was more a brief strategic overview, rather than the tactical analysis seen for some other universes (e.g. BSG).
Any chance for timestamps and list of presentations in the description for ease of navigation?

Alright, nerds, great talk but I hate to say 80% of Trek (and others) is/are based on convenient and bad writing, generally the sake of getting something on film for the show. A fine example of this is Starship Troopers which is a fine book well ahead of it's time in writing but was done a great injustice when brought to the big screen. There are many examples of these failures provided by true Trek fans on youtube to enjoy on your own time. The great thing about this talk is that it is indeed food for thought and examples of people thinking through a potential future. It also shows glaring issues in some people's anti-war Leftist-think. Clearly, no previous military service or the understanding of said culture, history and design shows up to be pretty ugly to us veterans that love military tech and how it may develop over time. Trek in some part seems to forget how and why the fought other life forms and threats over 100s of years of exploration and reluctant combat. Trek writers build ships of Science when they know that most first contacts do not go well and the presence of significant existing threats. The lessons taught are that ships that are multi-role and not designed for combat or lack significant combat prowess will simply lose in a situation. Today we do not design Armored vehicles, Infantry, Aircraft or Ships to completely dominate enemy forces. Instead, we try to produce a minimal solution at a minimal quality for a temporary solution to an overwhelming future event. when we should be looking at weapon systems that very much create significant fear in the enemy and future proof designs for a minimum of 20 to 30 years.
Hmm, would you accuse Sun Tzu of being an "anti-war Leftist-think(er)"?
Did in real-life overwhelming air superiority create "significant fear" to speed victory in...um, places where victory remains elusive?
@@MichaelLesterClockwork WTF are you talking about? Become more familiar with Trek writers/cast to sort the issue properly. As for the rest of your comment I don't know what point you are trying to relate to.
@@ChristopherSloane He is pointing out that Sun Tzu championed "minimal solution at a minimal quality" as the best victory, not "completely dominate enemy forces" or "future proof designs for a minimum of 20 to 30 years." Obviously, Sun Tzu didn't use those exact words but that's the meaning. Also, nice No True Scotsman fallacy in the opening of your paragraph.
