Eh?
I thought "superior" adjective has no superlative! Gunnie I don't know if you'd get hurt, but if you ever get in the Army, you'll have a heck of a time with your superiours! No pun intended!

Superior - Better or greater in some way; of high or higher quality.
Superlative - 1). of the highest degree or quality, a man of superlative wisdom (Which gunnie ain't). 2. of a grammatical form that expresses the highest or a very high degree of quality, eg dearest, shyest, best. 3. a suplative form of a word, superlatively.

U.S. Navy has a new ship called super aircraft carrier......
it runs on nuclear fusion. and they have the most advanced defense system that runs off computer.
This computer controls 4 diffrent missle systems the first is so powerful that the computer will destroy anything 25 miles away without permission to be near it. This ship can stay at sea for 2 years without refueling......
I dought anybody could get near the aircraft carrier not counting the battle ships and gun boats,,,,

Gunnie...No arguing about the fire power etc of the US army. But youdon't do all alone... never forget that, especially if you go into any part of the army.The US sends troops to Australia to train in combat, its a working good relationship. Don't get cocky, if they actually let you in they may send you here to train...

That's the first post he done that I can actually read and understand what he's saying. Doubt is the only word spelt wrong.

Why the western world combined is powerful enough isn't it!
Along with the federation and the ISO and G-Force who else do you need?
Gunnie you need to get out more...firepower doesn't mean your going to win the war... Brains and strategy have to come into somewhere. Just ask Mark! Commander of G-Force...

No fire power determines the war......
Its like sticking someone with a sword against someone with a gun

The sword would always win gunnie, well most the time anyways. It's kind of hard to shoot somebody standing close enough to stab you. You would be to worried about trying to dodge the sword than pulling the trigger.

Excuse me Gunnie, but in the past, some armies who outnumber a small army or force actually lost or didn't destroy the smaller army/force.
For examples.....
1) Battle of Thermopylae - 480 BC
300 Spartans, 700 Thespian volunteers, 400 Thebans that had been pressed into service, and 900 Helots.
150,000 to 200,000 roughly.
Okay, so the Spartans and co lost, but with good training, equipment, tactics, knowledge of area and leadership you can hurt the larger force a lot more than they can hurt you.
Peninsular War 1807 to 1814
In Portugal and Spain, the huge French armies were defeated again and again by the smaller British, Portuguese and Spanish armies. Also the French had extreme problems with the Portuguese and Spanish guerrilleros who fought in their guerrilla war (The Little War) which was......lets say the word brutal was an understatement by making the French guarding their messengers with a lot of soldiers and cavalry and killed a lot of them as well.
IN fact the word guerrilla came into the English languague because of this.
In WWII, special forces such as the SAD helped to be a bother to the Germans both in Europe and north Africa.
Battle Of Canaron - 30 April 1863, between the French Foreign Legion and the Mexican army.
Cut a bloody story short, a small group of 3 officers and 62 French Legionaries fought agaisnjt a Mexican force of 800 cavalry and 1200 infantry. The French Legion survivors charged the Mexicans with a bayonet charge but were beaten down.
The Mexican commander said of those Legionaries, "What can I refuse to such men? No, these are not men, they are devils." and escorted them home, let them carry the body of their captain and let the French Legionaries keep their weapons.

Go Amy!!! Thats what I thought...
A Condor with a one track mind for revenge took a base unknowingly with a single feather caught in the mechanics of a Galactor advanced war machine...
Five people dressed in bird costumes took out how many bases in one day???
Aussies have always been outnumbered on the battlefield... we seem to still manage to win occasionally.
Heck we celebrate a battle that we lost! The Turks had the high ground to start with...thats a very important part of battle strategy...
But they were scared of us in the end...those mad Aussies with their bayonets. I wouldn't want to have been on a battlefield. Not from the footage I have seen of real battles from the first and second world war. Scary,nightmarish stuff.
