    For the military arm in the Middle East they sure need a lot of US aircraft carriers and military bases to protect them against incoming missiles.

      Yes, different “arms” of the military always, without exception, defend other branches of the military, allies, and their bases. They don’t all just sit in their own base and dig in, friend.

      That would be stupid

      You see, the aircraft carriers are big boats, and they hold these jets. The jets fly around in the air and shoot things with missiles and other arms. The important part for my point is that the carrier is MOBILE, and a place for the jets to land. So, of course we MOBILIZED our MOBILE base.

      If an aircraft carrier is used, it is silly to conclude that the country that it is defending at the moment is more than a “military arm”. It’s used everywhere. Get it? That’s what it does.

      I am not an expert, educate me if I am wrong.
