Libertarian Gary Johnson, former two-term governor of New Mexico, is being pushed as a prospective Third Party candidate opposing Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Gary Johnson’s belief is this: we need no more US carriers or carrier groups. The US military should be slashed. In fact, we need to eliminate US carriers wholesale.
Gary Johnson is insane.

Wonder who is paying for him to run and what he is being paid. Probably the Shillary camp.
An excellent question. I have heard both sides mention him.

The United States Navy Nimitz-class carriers “4.5 acres of sovereign and mobile American territory.
Former President Bill Clinton summed up the importance of the aircraft carrier by stating that “when word of crisis breaks out in Washington, it’s no accident the first question that comes to everyone’s lips is: where is the nearest carrier?”
Projection of power. Only a moron would insist on mothballing our power.

“we need to eliminate US carriers” : Only a moron or somebody aware of the Chinese situation where they are turning to submarine warfare in the South China Sea as doctrine – and carriers are a lovely big target.
Don’t we have enough idiots running for President already?
WAY too many, sir.
Thank you for visiting sir, and thank you for taking the time to comment. Please return and continue to read.
