... job either, I do understand them. I speak of those who won't bother getting a job, or if they do keep it for a little bit till the time comes to leave to collect more welfare. I knew of someone who was like that, and there are too many who do that. Or spend way over their means, and have to use the system to help them. Which again, strains our resources. Until all of humanity grow up, until we can all claim were all human and really help each other out. Ships like this will always be needed.

@goldenboyi1989 This ship, and others like it are perfect for the current wars. Regardless of how small these countries are, since Aircraft Carriers are floating airports at sea they are almpost out of harms way. Unlike inland air strips, where the enemy can hit more easily. Don't go thinking these tiny nations are easily controlled either, Afghanistan has been going on since 2001, Iraq almost as long. And Libya don't seem to be getting settled any time soon. I do not speak of the ones out of a

@sliver01

many people collecting unemployment may be temporarily out of job due to the recession.They can get back-This ship wastes and wastes fuel,humans and time.IT was needed during the cold war-not now-Iran,iraq,afgan-those are tiny countries that can be easily controlled

@goldenboyi1989 No where near as bad as the pathetic lazy fools who do nothing but sit at home and collect welfare checks. That is the real strain on our resources! Not this ship, or the men and women who sail aboard her. The Cold War isn't exactly over, (North Korea) is threatening, we still have a Global war on terror, Afghanistan, what remains of the Iraqi issue, Libya. Other danger zones, or probable hot spots through out the world causes ships like this to be necessary.

WASTE of human resources and energy,the cold war ended and the US is getting poorer coz of waste like this
