Call me old fashioned and tasteless but I will forever have a soft place in my heart for Robotech. I used to run home from school to catch it and Voltron in the 3-4PM hour when I was in Elementary school.
From the article, it's hard to understand what, if anything, he actually did wrong in either instance mentioned.
Oh shit I remember that. That's like right near where I live. You know I think if he had had those weapons and wasn't dressed up he might not have gotten in nearly as much trouble. While I think the baton is illegal to carry, pepper spray is legal and I don't think those gloves are explicitly mentioned in any law. I think the fact that he was dressed up gave him intent which made it worse, but I'm no lawyer.
Romney was trying to say that Obama was weakening the military because we have fewer large ships in the navy than we did in 1917. Obama retorted " We also have fewer horses and bayonets" to imply that the reason for reducing the size of our blue water navy is because much of it is obsolete.

I find it funny that Obama makes a joke about not needing bayonets while that's one of the things on the previous "assault weapons" ban that he supposedly wants to reinstate. Don't get me wrong, I'm voting for him and I don't think the ban is anything to worry about anytime soon but Its just kinda funny.

I can't wait to buy it for like a dollar during the inevitable steam sale.

Oversimplication. The war nerd knows his shit geopolitically but his actual grasp of specifics breaks down pretty fast simply because he doesn't get technology the way he gets politics and relies on a narrow set of evidence as a knockdown blow. He makes some good points regarding survivability but they are overshadowed by both simple realities of hydrodynamic engineering and by the overwhelming usefulness of the aircraft carrier as well as an overestimation of specific tactics which are basically the current focus of countermeasures research. Essentially, he had an over-reactionary point of view regarding a weapon system when it turned out a reliable countermeasure (point defense laser turrets) were right around the corner, and he retains this reactionary view based on the (correct) assumption that what loses wars is conservative thinking. His assessment of the political side of the navy is right on but I don't think he understands the methods carrier groups use to express their dominance of an airspace.

Which is true, but we're comparing a time period when machine guns had just been invented to today where we've got drones to mount bayonets on.
