There is principle and then there is reality. The reality is than seamen don't want to die and it isn't their stuff, so they won't fight.

RPGs are a big concern as it renders defending argument mute - unless they want a sinking ship. Lets look for bright sides. This isn't our stuff - it hurts our competitors and increases the cost of imports against our own products. - to a much lesser extent our exports. It probably will contribute to growth in defense products

Does anyone know what, besides the obvious, we (americans) transport over there back and forth?
