VOA: US Army Officials Confident in Competition with China  

WASHINGTON — Not all branches of the U.S. military are equally worried about keeping pace with China’s military expansion. 

While U.S. Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro warned earlier this week that he needed more ships to meet the threat posed by China’s rapidly expanding naval forces, top Army officials believe U.S. ground forces still hold a critical edge over their Chinese counterparts. 

“The human dimension of the United States Army, I think, is a comparative advantage,” U.S. Army Secretary Christine Wormuth cautioned during a breakfast in Washington on Thursday with the Defense Writers Group. “The quality of how our soldiers are trained, the kind of leaders that they have, the kind of combat experience that the force has.” 

Army Chief of Staff General James McConville added that the quality of leadership, especially that rising from the ranks of the Army’s enlisted soldiers, cannot be understated.

China is currently the manufacturing superpower of the world. The U.S. is not.

If the alphabet community thinks it has it bad now, just wait till the Chinese have their way with them. The pride period in our history is a terminal illness that will cost us all.

A significant historical figure once made the statement, "Quantity has a quality all its own". If that was supposed to mean that "more" is better simply for "more's" sake, that discussion has been settled.

/and most of PLAN's 600 warships could fit inside a hockey rink.

Americans will solve the LGBQ problem without the advice of concerned Russians.

Lawsuits are just starting to ramp up by people detransitioning. Watch for rats fleeing for cover.

Not one concerned Russian paid lawyer's fee for those fighting the doctors cutting people up.

American soldiers have the edge in training to salute the rainbow flag of queerdom. Male US soldiers are free to wear dresses and makeup, but for now they may not have their penises removed. Activists are working to negate this discriminatory practice. About 15,000 trans personnel currently serve in the US military. Yes, the USA certainly has the edge against China.
