The coolest/scariest part is how many Submarine Launched Nuclear ICBMs are out there. So even if somehow a country was able to wipe the entirety of every person and every piece of gear off of every place where the US has a hold on land, one group of submariners could still retaliate with complete devastation from under the surface sea. And also seeing a sub-surface misslie launch is just rad lol.
I love these kinds of videos! The one thing, and arguably most important, most of them seem to leave out is our close friends and allies. This is the one thing China and Russia don't have, and judging by their actions around the world lately, isn't something they've seemed to figure out. 🇺🇸💙🇬🇧👍
@Anya Harrison You make a good point in that Turkey, China and other authoritarian governments are closer to Russia than they are to the Western Allied nations, but what they have is more of an alliance of convenience. It's also a very transactional relationship. Juxtapose that with the Western Allied Nations, most of us have not only fought and died for one another countless times, making this alone unique, we also have shared ancestry, cultures and traditions because America is much more embracing of new people. Don't underestimate China and India's rough past. India's people are also used to democracy, which is something they will never willingly give up. Turkey is corrupt and it's leader is an authoritarian, and I believe there is already consideration to limiting Turkey with NATO intelligence, and possibly even expulsion altogether. We'll see. India's people as a whole are much more in line with Western Democracies and cultures than Authoritarian regimes of Russia and China.
no the biggest thing they leave out is that to conquer america you have to wipe out every man woman AND child who is an american citizen, whether legal or honorary, and we are spread across the globe. each and every last one of us will rise up against you if you mess with us.
@@jdemd1977 Ultimately it's irrelevant, no modern nation has the capacity to launch any meaningful assault on America. They lack the blue water Naval capabilities to land an assault force capable of securing a foothold on American soil..If things where to escalate into nuclear conflict it's automatically game over for both the US as well as the aggressor nation. This is obviously known by US adversarial nations, and they don't want to have their own armies and civilian population destroyed even in the best of outcomes and they where to win a first strike nuclear option, what would remain for them to secure? No, the future of military conflict will be proxy wars in third world countries, be it Ukraine or the middle east, perhaps even far east less developed Asian nations like we saw in Vietnam. Even in this case you're unlikely to see mass conflict like we saw in WWII, instead it will be slow burn small scale conventional warfare..
The USA puts out what they have military wise cause of spending bills that need to be public. Private spending for new tech can be considered top secret and may be a undisclosed project.
This all seems completely over the top, but it's the result of some really hard lessons we learned from both WWI and WWII. It used to be that after a war was fought, we'd disband most of our military and not bother to activate those units again until we needed it again. The result was an unprepared fighting force with no combat experience and wildly outdated weapons. We'd show a lot of heart and determination, but that loss of experience, outdated tactics and equipment would cost us tens of thousands of American lives. Never again. We'll spend lives if necessary but if you were in our shoes, wouldn't you want to spend the money to make sure more of your people made it back alive? Why would we risk losing tens of thousands of people just to appease the criticism of people who frankly know nothing of our history or country in general? Besides, truth be told our military spending usually comes out to around 16% of our total national budget. I know people like to claim that it's above 50%, but they don't realize that they're referring to discretionary spending, what Congress votes on. The vast majority of our national budget is considered mandatory spending, which automatically gets spent because it's things people rely on like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. On top of all that, we're a counter to bad actors on the world stage. Nowadays it's China and Russia and frankly both nations have proven that if it weren't for us, they'd both be invading other nations and we all know what that leads to. We have to be prepared to fight both at the same time, with or without allies because again, it means more Americans not coming home if we don't. We're not perfect, we don't always get it right and we can be outright malicious at times, but at the end of the day, we really are the less of two evils by a long shot. For the most part, we do leave the rest of the world alone and we're allied with countries all over the globe. Wars and conflicts still happen, but they are just a fraction of the destruction and death that used to occur.
And in spite of the fact that we have fought wars so people in other countries can be free, we are often treated poorly by others. God bless the Brits who've helped, at times.
As a guy from the USA, I love the idea of the UK being cousins. Haha I hope to visit some day, always wanted to go to your country and check it out. Hopefully soon!
Also, the Minutemen in US history were militia and military that were to be ready to fight at a minute's notice, hence the name. The modern usage of the term minuteman refers to the obvious fact that the nuclear ICBMs can be deployed at a minutes notice. Really not a more apt name to be given to them.
The amount of military might that my country wields is truly terrifying. But I often wonder what the world would be like if we didn’t wield it. Very very different I think.
@@wheelmanstan that’s because you live in the country with the biggest military budget. People who live in other countries will probably not agree with you.
I cant imagine it'd be that different. Possible even better for the Americans as they wouldn't live in a place that's constantly at threat to terrorism
The B-2 Stealth Bomber is one of the coolest jets I've ever seen. I live in Missouri so it wasn't too uncommon to travel near Whiteman AFB where they're stationed. I saw one fly one day and it was one of the craziest things I ever saw. At first I thought it was a UFO but quickly remembered I was near the air base. It's wing span is massive yet it's so thin that if you're at a distance and see it level out, it looks like the bomber disappears.
The "advancements" that the U.S. military tells us about are usually a good two decades old. It's really quite scary to imagine what all they can actually do.
smart bombs r unreal... we fired 21 of them in iraq and all 21 hit the target with pinpoint accuracy, 2 were programmed to enter elevator shafts and did
Minutemen were common folk who took up arms against the Red Coats in the Revolutionary War (I forget what you blokes call that war). They were essentially farmers and craftsmen who would arm themselves on short notice and act as a sort of militia to hassle the British troops until the actual Army arrived.
True. My household has 3 adults. 3 handguns. 1 rifle. 2 pit bulls & a large mutt. Multiple large sharp knives (my mothers family is from Liverpool) . We are not country militia - we are retired professional city folk.
These Nimitz Carriers (that takes years to build) when decommissioned could be sold or transferred to friendly nations like England or Australia. Only the Nuclear Core needs to be updated. They are cities at sea equipped with their own desalinization systems for disaster relief.
11:30 there’s an old aircraft carrier in New York City that’s converted into a museum. I went there when I was a kid. When you’re on the carrier it doesn’t feel like you’re on a boat, it’s so huge and sturdy you really feel like you’re on an island
They failed to mention when they were talking about air superiority that the US navy has the biggest air force in the world... That is, except for the US air force. Seriously though I agree with the "boots on the ground" sentiment. Would've been nice if they got into that more.
by 'boots on the ground' i hope your talking about every last american citizen down to the children. because it would take wiping us all out to 'defeat' america. leave one alive, america is undefeated.
Mark 7:03. Just so you know! 😉 The "Starr Bumble Bee II" was an experimental aircraft designed and built specifically to acquire the title of “The World’s Smallest Airplane”.
In the gulf war the first air strikes were in Baghdad and by f117 nighthawk stealth planes. They were sent to literally see if the stealth systems would even work so they literally hovered over Baghdad for a long time and no SAM missiles worked. The funniest part is that the Iraqis knew they were there by the sound but their radars were pointless so they started blind firing unguided weapons into the sky to no avail.
The X-47B stealth drones have began to be deployed around the world, they look like a peregrine falcon when viewing them from a profile-view, super cool. (edit: Sorry I mean X-47B not X37B, the X37 is the unmanned space ship.)
To be fair the British originally showed us how to build proper ships especially carriers. Back in World War II when our Carrier's deck was still made out of wood the British was using steel plate. And with torpedos and aircraft's hitting the deck of your carriers you can see what the problem was.
The US also has the ships and planes that are “retired” able to be used if needed in a time of war. As for the gorilla warfare, started with the Native Americans.
I would recommend checking out the A-10 Warthog. In BRRRRRRRRRt we trust. As for the smart munition, the M982 Excalibur round for the M-777 howitzer is one of the smart munitions for artillery.
I have a few relatives who were high ups or worked in special areas in the military, and they were saying our technology is more advanced than these other super powers. For example, Aunt who was a high up in the chain of command for one of our submarine bases, was saying that submarine technology wise, we are about 20 yrs ahead of Russia and at least 30 yrs, if not more, ahead of China. As a matter of fact, she was saying that the China's most advanced sub is very, very loud in the water. SO much so that during one of their ( China) initial excursions with this submarine, an older U.S. submarine tailed it and they (China) had no idea because they couldn't hear ours over the noise of their own.
The term "Minuteman" goes back to the Revolutionary War with Britain. The Minutemen were a system of guards placed all around the country to alert the Continental Army where the British were landing.
The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor really affected the American defense posture. If you look at the figures from post WW1 to post WW2, it was like "yeah, that's not happening again". Hell, we barely even had an army at the time the Japanese attacked. After that we realized we couldn't just depend on our isolation across 2 oceans to keep us safe.
The U.S. does allow the numbers of units, unit strengths, etc. to be published. What you will never see is the exact capabilities of those units. For example, top speeds of Navy vessels are always listed as "30 kts +". It's theorized that Nimitz Class carriers, for instance, are capable of in excess of 40 kts at flank speed.
Maybe if the US spent more on Healthcare, financial support programs, liveable minimum wages, education, infrastructure and less on your military, the average US citizen would be better off and live happier lives without fear of their fellow citizens?

we have I think it's like 330 million people in the US, and there are way more guns then people, it's almost 395 million the last I checked, and that is just the ones that are registered.
Very true. We've been stockpiling them for, well, forever - AND they're now being manufactured and sold at a record pace. Out of Stock (because of demand) is now quite common here.
I saw a stealth aircraft once. I lived in the country and that ship caught my eye. I couldn't hear it but it was only about a mile away from me. It came up over a hill and down, then lifted again and went over another hill and out of sight. I was stunned but never told anyone. It was in about 1991 and the war was raging in the war against terror.
We actually keep the old carriers in reserve for quite awhile. While we only have 11 that are operational at the moment we have several more in the mothball fleet.
Yeah, i was gonna mention the origin of the term "minute man" but there's some really good comments on it in the comments. Their importance in our history is also very unique. Basically Britain back in that time was like the US today. They dominated every aspect of war and the US didn't even have a standing professional Army. The minute men for Americans represents Americas determination not to be ruled by another country. They represent freedom.
The Nimitz class (CVN) was first deployed in 1975, my birth year. The Nimitz class (CVN) will not be scrapped. They will be put in decomition, where if need be put back into service for decades to come after just a few weeks in the dry decks.

Minutemen were members of the militia who played a major part in the American war of independence. They were the first to fight the British for Independence. To acknowledge their patriotism, the name Minutemen has been given to various US military forces and to some missiles.
The US is very secret about their capabilities. The official speed of an SR-71 Blackbird was Mach 3.3, but a pilot claimed Mach 3.5. They outran missiles all the time. There are a few jets that can do mach 3, but they can't sustain it. The Blackbird could sustain mach 3 indefinitely, with fueling. By the time a SAM got a lock and fired, the Blackbird was already getting out of range. It didn't even have good stealth. It was just super fast and super high. It was in a place that nothing could touch. The F-117 Nighthawk was still 10 square meters on radar. Meanwhile, the F-22 Raptor is 0.0001 square meters on radar at nearly 42 tons. About the size of a bumblebee or a marble. Yep. We do that.

Yep the amount of local militia this is unknown to many and secretive. A large amount of country boys with weapons, gangs, half the households owns atleast one gun. Police forces also preppers the amount is also unknown. Plus the National Guard but they might have included that in the figures.
Dear Cousins, absolutely you are definitely in my book top 1. This video should have said that, regardless, so glad you have our back and vise versa . Long live us both.
We Americans aren’t all that crazy, in general, however we can crank up the crazy and go full-blown ballistic when the need arises. Our military is the vanguard of that attitude. Ronald Reagan spoke of peace through strength and that applies not only to our military but also to our citizenry and our commitment to our allies.

We should always have their backs as they should have ours!
Yep the U.S and UK would never go to war with one another.
Our history goes way back with one another and that we both operated during ww1 and ww2. The same goes with France and other closely related allies.
Our histories have been close and intertwined where we should stay as family and friends than become enemies considering after all the things we done for one another in history
UK doesn’t have gun rights though…
We should give jets silly names just to hear the enemy yelling..

Your sick, but cool
And the government is usually 5-10 years ahead of the public. So imagine what tech is in use now
Try 15-20 year's. The USA discovered GPS in the late 60's. Introduced to the world in 1991 (Gulf War)
@@southfieldtrill9690 it just makes sense that they have tech 15-20 years ahead of what they show because knowing the US they aren’t showing they’re full capacity.
It should be stated that the US Navy does actually have Stealth destroyers such as the Zumwalt class destroyer. It is impressive to say the least if you ever get to go on one.
And there is already 2 or 3 Ford class carriers on the ocean! Also smart bombs with "swords" to slice through cars which doesn't even sound real but most certainly is
What i find the best fact is that you never know what the. USA really has!! Til ur on the wrong side of it! Never ever tell ALL YOUR SECRETS! Thats the whole idea of... GOTTCHA!
Yeah, whatever you learn about the U.S. military nowadays, you can assume their actual current tech is at least a decade ahead..
Yeah, but no Railguns :( because they won't use unguided rounds... so they're too expensive.
@@rameaseshaw3245 at least they have toy box missile systems.
I feel terrible saying this but whenever I feel bad I watch these videos and then suddenly become happy again.
Okay so I’m not the only one 😂

On the plus side, our man Dave can be ready in a minute; on the minus side, our man Dave is done in a minute.
Americas has an amazing military, and a really amazing ally 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 ❤️
The coolest/scariest part is how many Submarine Launched Nuclear ICBMs are out there. So even if somehow a country was able to wipe the entirety of every person and every piece of gear off of every place where the US has a hold on land, one group of submariners could still retaliate with complete devastation from under the surface sea. And also seeing a sub-surface misslie launch is just rad lol.
I am glad to be a member under this fire power. I will always support protecting and working with Canada and Great Britain
I love these kinds of videos! The one thing, and arguably most important, most of them seem to leave out is our close friends and allies. This is the one thing China and Russia don't have, and judging by their actions around the world lately, isn't something they've seemed to figure out. 🇺🇸💙🇬🇧👍
Keep thinking this way.
@Anya Harrison You make a good point in that Turkey, China and other authoritarian governments are closer to Russia than they are to the Western Allied nations, but what they have is more of an alliance of convenience. It's also a very transactional relationship. Juxtapose that with the Western Allied Nations, most of us have not only fought and died for one another countless times, making this alone unique, we also have shared ancestry, cultures and traditions because America is much more embracing of new people. Don't underestimate China and India's rough past. India's people are also used to democracy, which is something they will never willingly give up. Turkey is corrupt and it's leader is an authoritarian, and I believe there is already consideration to limiting Turkey with NATO intelligence, and possibly even expulsion altogether. We'll see. India's people as a whole are much more in line with Western Democracies and cultures than Authoritarian regimes of Russia and China.
@@lamerde4778 china is only good at making enemies lmao

no the biggest thing they leave out is that to conquer america you have to wipe out every man woman AND child who is an american citizen, whether legal or honorary, and we are spread across the globe. each and every last one of us will rise up against you if you mess with us.
@@jdemd1977 Ultimately it's irrelevant, no modern nation has the capacity to launch any meaningful assault on America. They lack the blue water Naval capabilities to land an assault force capable of securing a foothold on American soil..If things where to escalate into nuclear conflict it's automatically game over for both the US as well as the aggressor nation. This is obviously known by US adversarial nations, and they don't want to have their own armies and civilian population destroyed even in the best of outcomes and they where to win a first strike nuclear option, what would remain for them to secure? No, the future of military conflict will be proxy wars in third world countries, be it Ukraine or the middle east, perhaps even far east less developed Asian nations like we saw in Vietnam. Even in this case you're unlikely to see mass conflict like we saw in WWII, instead it will be slow burn small scale conventional warfare..
I still love the navy comparison.
1st place: US - 11 supercarriers
2nd place: UK - 2
Well the 2 that the UK has are not both Supercarriers. 1 is, the HMS Queen Elizabeth.
Hey Welcome back guys!!! Saying hi from Orlando, Florida, USA!!!
Connie Williams We're glad to be back, thanks to all you guys for sticking with us 🙌👍
The USA puts out what they have military wise cause of spending bills that need to be public. Private spending for new tech can be considered top secret and may be a undisclosed project.
Unless it's a Black Project, not even congress has the authorization to even know what it is.
Exactly what happened with the Manhattan project
when your navy has more aircraft than other nation's airforces
This all seems completely over the top, but it's the result of some really hard lessons we learned from both WWI and WWII. It used to be that after a war was fought, we'd disband most of our military and not bother to activate those units again until we needed it again. The result was an unprepared fighting force with no combat experience and wildly outdated weapons. We'd show a lot of heart and determination, but that loss of experience, outdated tactics and equipment would cost us tens of thousands of American lives.
Never again. We'll spend lives if necessary but if you were in our shoes, wouldn't you want to spend the money to make sure more of your people made it back alive? Why would we risk losing tens of thousands of people just to appease the criticism of people who frankly know nothing of our history or country in general?
Besides, truth be told our military spending usually comes out to around 16% of our total national budget. I know people like to claim that it's above 50%, but they don't realize that they're referring to discretionary spending, what Congress votes on. The vast majority of our national budget is considered mandatory spending, which automatically gets spent because it's things people rely on like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
On top of all that, we're a counter to bad actors on the world stage. Nowadays it's China and Russia and frankly both nations have proven that if it weren't for us, they'd both be invading other nations and we all know what that leads to. We have to be prepared to fight both at the same time, with or without allies because again, it means more Americans not coming home if we don't.
We're not perfect, we don't always get it right and we can be outright malicious at times, but at the end of the day, we really are the less of two evils by a long shot. For the most part, we do leave the rest of the world alone and we're allied with countries all over the globe. Wars and conflicts still happen, but they are just a fraction of the destruction and death that used to occur.
preach it, friend.
We have a lot to protect. I think the expense is justified.
And in spite of the fact that we have fought wars so people in other countries can be free, we are often treated poorly by others. God bless the Brits who've helped, at times.
What is your experience with the military?
@@marc2397 I was an 0331.
As a guy from the USA, I love the idea of the UK being cousins. Haha I hope to visit some day, always wanted to go to your country and check it out. Hopefully soon!
The Minuteman were essentially the US's first special forces group. There were small handpicked group quick reaction force in the revolutionary war.
Not really special forces it was basically just local militias
@@benjamindenton9453 Special forces for the time.
That ship in the beginning of number 2 is the independence variant littoral combat ship or LCS for short
Also, the Minutemen in US history were militia and military that were to be ready to fight at a minute's notice, hence the name. The modern usage of the term minuteman refers to the obvious fact that the nuclear ICBMs can be deployed at a minutes notice. Really not a more apt name to be given to them.
The amount of military might that my country wields is truly terrifying. But I often wonder what the world would be like if we didn’t wield it. Very very different I think.
someone's gonna wield it, best it's us
@@wheelmanstan that’s because you live in the country with the biggest military budget. People who live in other countries will probably not agree with you.

The B-2 Stealth Bomber is one of the coolest jets I've ever seen. I live in Missouri so it wasn't too uncommon to travel near Whiteman AFB where they're stationed. I saw one fly one day and it was one of the craziest things I ever saw. At first I thought it was a UFO but quickly remembered I was near the air base. It's wing span is massive yet it's so thin that if you're at a distance and see it level out, it looks like the bomber disappears.
Were getting the new b21 raider unless dead eyed Biden kills it
As an American. I know this might be scary, but I hope we still keep our allies. Especially our brother and sisters across the pond.
Yet we wouldn't be where we are without our british brothers and sisters across the pond, love from the US.
The "advancements" that the U.S. military tells us about are usually a good two decades old. It's really quite scary to imagine what all they can actually do.
smart bombs r unreal... we fired 21 of them in iraq and all 21 hit the target with pinpoint accuracy, 2 were programmed to enter elevator shafts and did

Minutemen were common folk who took up arms against the Red Coats in the Revolutionary War (I forget what you blokes call that war). They were essentially farmers and craftsmen who would arm themselves on short notice and act as a sort of militia to hassle the British troops until the actual Army arrived.
True. My household has 3 adults. 3 handguns. 1 rifle. 2 pit bulls & a large mutt. Multiple large sharp knives (my mothers family is from Liverpool) . We are not country militia - we are retired professional city folk.
These Nimitz Carriers (that takes years to build) when decommissioned could be sold or transferred to friendly nations like England or Australia. Only the Nuclear Core needs to be updated. They are cities at sea equipped with their own desalinization systems for disaster relief.
11:30 there’s an old aircraft carrier in New York City that’s converted into a museum. I went there when I was a kid. When you’re on the carrier it doesn’t feel like you’re on a boat, it’s so huge and sturdy you really feel like you’re on an island
"We should get a good deal for being chums." Yes, yes, I gurantee you will get a "good deal", my chums. 😂
That bumblebee is flying at 50k feet and twice the speed off sound.....cool
They failed to mention when they were talking about air superiority that the US navy has the biggest air force in the world... That is, except for the US air force.
Seriously though I agree with the "boots on the ground" sentiment. Would've been nice if they got into that more.
The second largest air force in the world is the Taliban since we gave them all the airplanes.
by 'boots on the ground' i hope your talking about every last american citizen down to the children. because it would take wiping us all out to 'defeat' america. leave one alive, america is undefeated.

The "Starr Bumble Bee II" was an experimental aircraft designed and built specifically to acquire the title of “The World’s Smallest Airplane”.
Having a beer and a conversation with you guys looks like it would be a blast
In the gulf war the first air strikes were in Baghdad and by f117 nighthawk stealth planes. They were sent to literally see if the stealth systems would even work so they literally hovered over Baghdad for a long time and no SAM missiles worked. The funniest part is that the Iraqis knew they were there by the sound but their radars were pointless so they started blind firing unguided weapons into the sky to no avail.
The X-47B stealth drones have began to be deployed around the world, they look like a peregrine falcon when viewing them from a profile-view, super cool.
(edit: Sorry I mean X-47B not X37B, the X37 is the unmanned space ship.)
To be fair the British originally showed us how to build proper ships especially carriers. Back in World War II when our Carrier's deck was still made out of wood the British was using steel plate. And with torpedos and aircraft's hitting the deck of your carriers you can see what the problem was.
The US also has the ships and planes that are “retired” able to be used if needed in a time of war. As for the gorilla warfare, started with the Native Americans.
In WW II the great Japanese Admiral Yamamoto declared that they cannot invade America because there will be a gun behind every blade of grass
I would recommend checking out the A-10 Warthog. In BRRRRRRRRRt we trust. As for the smart munition, the M982 Excalibur round for the M-777 howitzer is one of the smart munitions for artillery.
BRRRRrrrrRRRRrrR MmmmmmMMMmm
I have a few relatives who were high ups or worked in special areas in the military, and they were saying our technology is more advanced than these other super powers. For example, Aunt who was a high up in the chain of command for one of our submarine bases, was saying that submarine technology wise, we are about 20 yrs ahead of Russia and at least 30 yrs, if not more, ahead of China. As a matter of fact, she was saying that the China's most advanced sub is very, very loud in the water. SO much so that during one of their ( China) initial excursions with this submarine, an older U.S. submarine tailed it and they (China) had no idea because they couldn't hear ours over the noise of their own.
The term "Minuteman" goes back to the Revolutionary War with Britain. The Minutemen were a system of guards placed all around the country to alert the Continental Army where the British were landing.
The boys are back in town. Yayyyyy 😎
The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor really affected the American defense posture. If you look at the figures from post WW1 to post WW2, it was like "yeah, that's not happening again". Hell, we barely even had an army at the time the Japanese attacked. After that we realized we couldn't just depend on our isolation across 2 oceans to keep us safe.
I like your guys sketch comedy reactions.
GPS guided missiles lol...The last thing you would wanna hear is "REROUTING" lol
350million guns? It’s a lot more then that, I have 5 just by myself
The U.S. does allow the numbers of units, unit strengths, etc. to be published. What you will never see is the exact capabilities of those units. For example, top speeds of Navy vessels are always listed as "30 kts +". It's theorized that Nimitz Class carriers, for instance, are capable of in excess of 40 kts at flank speed.
Maybe if the US spent more on Healthcare, financial support programs, liveable minimum wages, education, infrastructure and less on your military, the average US citizen would be better off and live happier lives without fear of their fellow citizens?

No country comes close to the training these guys go through. Very professional at what they do.
we have I think it's like 330 million people in the US, and there are way more guns then people, it's almost 395 million the last I checked, and that is just the ones that are registered.
Very true. We've been stockpiling them for, well, forever - AND they're now being manufactured and sold at a record pace. Out of Stock (because of demand) is now quite common here.
I saw a stealth aircraft once. I lived in the country and that ship caught my eye. I couldn't hear it but it was only about a mile away from me. It came up over a hill and down, then lifted again and went over another hill and out of sight. I was stunned but never told anyone. It was in about 1991 and the war was raging in the war against terror.
"the war against terror" my guy, YOU are the terrorist. YOU wielded force at the behest of one of the most corrupt institutions in the world.
these are just the stuff they're allowed to show us..love watching you farts!
We actually keep the old carriers in reserve for quite awhile. While we only have 11 that are operational at the moment we have several more in the mothball fleet.
Yeah, i was gonna mention the origin of the term "minute man" but there's some really good comments on it in the comments.
Their importance in our history is also very unique. Basically Britain back in that time was like the US today. They dominated every aspect of war and the US didn't even have a standing professional Army.
The minute men for Americans represents Americas determination not to be ruled by another country. They represent freedom.
Yeah, I know, and you tried to bring your freedom to own slaves to Canada and both times you failed miserably.

Minutemen were civilian militia during the american revolution that could be ready to fight on a minute's notice.

Minutemen were members of the militia who played a major part in the American war of independence. They were the first to fight the British for Independence. To acknowledge their patriotism, the name Minutemen has been given to various US military forces and to some missiles.
This is just what America is willing to tell everyone about. Think about what they aren’t telling us about.
The US is very secret about their capabilities. The official speed of an SR-71 Blackbird was Mach 3.3, but a pilot claimed Mach 3.5. They outran missiles all the time. There are a few jets that can do mach 3, but they can't sustain it. The Blackbird could sustain mach 3 indefinitely, with fueling. By the time a SAM got a lock and fired, the Blackbird was already getting out of range. It didn't even have good stealth. It was just super fast and super high. It was in a place that nothing could touch.
The F-117 Nighthawk was still 10 square meters on radar. Meanwhile, the F-22 Raptor is 0.0001 square meters on radar at nearly 42 tons. About the size of a bumblebee or a marble. Yep. We do that.
Mark 5:45. Okay. First, there was the, "P-38 Lightning". Now we have the, "F-35 Lightning II". "JSF", is just it's assigned role or purpose. 🧐

Yep the amount of local militia this is unknown to many and secretive. A large amount of country boys with weapons, gangs, half the households owns atleast one gun. Police forces also preppers the amount is also unknown. Plus the National Guard but they might have included that in the figures.

We Americans aren’t all that crazy, in general, however we can crank up the crazy and go full-blown ballistic when the need arises. Our military is the vanguard of that attitude. Ronald Reagan spoke of peace through strength and that applies not only to our military but also to our citizenry and our commitment to our allies.
