Not making a judgement about our laws but I wonder. If she survived and her child died would she be charged with murder? If the opposite occured and she was killed, along with her child while being a victim of robbery the offender would be charged with her murder and the murder of the unborn child.

How do we make sense of the twists and turns in our laws?  Maybe I'm being too simplistic but it just don't make sense.

SecNavy admits that we can't keep up with Chinese ship building...

China 🇨🇳 has 400 naval ships and increasing. The 🇺🇸is about to go under 300. 🇨🇳 has 13 shipyards compared to 7 in the 🇺🇸. Some 🇨🇳 shipyards have more capacity than all 🇺🇸 shipyards combined. pic.twitter.com/xs1ml5bxkW

Uncrewed arsenal ships, LHDs turned into UAV carriers, and finally putting every cent we have available into building a metric shit ton of long range high speed missiles that can go hundreds of kilometers is the way.

The Navy is paralyzed by analysis and has no way forward so they've lost before the first shot is fired.

Are we seeing the worst military leadership in the history of the nation?

The focus should be on warfighting but its on everything else.

Only God can help us but I think he's tired of our shit.

Anyone know why the last guy didn't have his fins on?

China continues to increase its defense spending. Are they're trying to do to us what Reagan did to the USSR?

 

Why is China continuing to increase defence spending? 🇨🇳#ForcesNews reporter @ClaireBFBS spoke to @VeerleNouwens from @RUSI_org to find out.

Eight Type 055 Destroyers are in service...even destroying the Marine Corps by the Commandant won't change the math...

The reality is stark and simple.

The Commandant can come up with a half baked plan to make over half the Marine Corps into coast watching, missile launching, recon/counter recon specialist that "operate within the enemies weapon engagement zone" but the amount of firepower that will be brought to bear won't matter in the deep water fight that is coming.

Even the US Army with there multi-domain constructs won't help much.

The Chinese have gone beyond being a brown water creature and have morphed into a beast that is looking to take the US Navy out into the deep water and to strangle them till they're all dead.

Congress, the President, the Joint Chiefs and the American people are gonna have to accept the reality.

We have too many worldwide commitments and something is gonna have to give if we're actually talking about taking on China.

Gimmicks and games just ain't gonna do it.

The MLRs that rely on stealth to survive will be located, fixed and destroyed.

The Navy and Air Force are gonna have to MAN UP and face the challenge.

Confidence in those two services is not high.

Actually this applies to the entire concept of fighting in built up areas or the new hotness, mega cities! It's a concept on crack that might sound good in a brief but sucks for the people actually doing it. Even in a law enforcement environment its pure insanity.
