Thailand has an aircraft carrier? Must be a helicopter aircraft carrier!Keep in mind none of those countries has to patrol the global sea lanes. So, they wouldn't have to keep the Hormuz open while possibly fighting the Chinese navy and air force in the Taiwan straights.But I do feel much better...we could probably cut a couple carrier groups.

"If I had a boat, I'd go out on the ocean. And if I had a pony. I'd ride him on my boat."To which I would add, if I had a bayonet I would...never mind, this is not going to turn out well for the pony.
I had to Google the whole thing. Dave Matthews Band?
