I said you were partly right, depending on what you classify as an aircraft carrier. Helicopters and VTOL are indeed aircraft, so it is not inaccurate to say the US has 19 aircraft carriers.
I explained the helicopter carrier factor before you jumped in and began your know it all over confident attitude. If anyone is being a petulant punk it is you. I brought factual data about carriers into the conversation and you brought your immature snotty attitude to try and boost your ego.
You're way above your truncated head. You have no leeway in calling anyone snotty nor immature.
I have no idea about the lie Cambell was supposed to have told. I saw a carrier thread in the military forum and jumped in. I did not expect to end up in the middle of personal feuds and politics. I was familiar with the controversy about the difference between the various size and class carriers and hoped to get into an educational or academic discussion about that topic. Some of you guys are so stuck on yourselves and beating your chest that intellectual discussions on even the most neutral and objective topics become impossible. Surprised I have not noticed Benghazi or Obama and Clinton being liars.
Learn how to bow out more gracefully. You may be on the cusp of actual intellectual exchange which till doesn't translate into meaningful exchange.
Geez, I apologize for any part I played in hijacking and destroying the thread. I have a stalker and should never have responded to his first comment.
You just wait. You're gonna be sorry when the first wave of landing craft, wooden, paddle, infantry, come stroking up the Hudson.
So franco hater dupe, even after you know the facts, you're going to stand there and lie that the US has 12 Aircraft Carriers the UK 3, and the no one else has more than one?
Really?
You're stupid
You're a liar
Yep, you're a democrat.
What you dumbasses don't realize is that the Republican party used to be a party of the people. I voted for Eisenhower, Goldwater, Nixon three times.....even Reagan the first time. Then I saw what he was doing to the middle class by slashing tax rates for the rich and continuing to spend at an increasing rate. I went twenty years and didn't even vote. The present day Republican party works for the rich and corporations and couldn't care less for the working people in America. I'll never vote for one of the "bought and paid for" assholes again. If adjusted for inflation the poorest half of working America have actually lost buying power in the last thirty years:
I've got a handful....Suck It!!!
World caught up, we are not going back to the 50s no matter how much the liberals want to.
Going senile ?

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.
Over the past 30 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:
1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.
Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.
But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):
1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%
A 13% drop since 1980
2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.
Share of National Income going to Top 10%:
1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%
An increase of 16% since Reagan.
3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.
The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.
1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)
A 12.3% drop after Reagan.
4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.
Household Debt as percentage of GDP:
1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%
A 45% increase after 1980.
5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.
Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:
1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%
A 5.6 times increase.
6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.
The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:
1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%
A 10% Decrease.

Some people just love being ignorant and dupes of the greedy idiot rich GOP...We have just as much money, but under Raygun tax rates etc, it all goes to the wealthy....duh.Going senile ?What you dumbasses don't realize is that the Republican party used to be a party of the people.

Oh gee, the workers produce more because wait for it...
Because of technology that the companies invested in their company's along with New business models like kazien, go teams, ISO, lean manufacturing and the like.
It has not a damn thing to do with the workers waking up one morning thinking to themselves "good golly I think I will produce more today!!!"
Thanks to the GOP screwing up the League, the Treaty, the world economy, and letting resultant fascists run wild until Dec. 7 (They had a bs propaganda machine then, too... AGAIN- Never stop with the disaster. France won WWI, moron.
