thats not true at all, more us servicemen have died in combat because of rules of engagement that the UN imposes, and because whenever the UN f's up in some country they ask the US the come in a help them get out of the mess they are in.

Ummm what?
Who exactly is a religious figure in the Israeli leadership?
PM Netanyahu? Defense minister? Chief of Staff?
The only religious figures in the Israeli government are holding internal affairs ministry places.
You guys seriously need to check your fact book before claiming such stuff.

Why doesn't Russia do it? What about China? NK? Iran?

Given part of the discussion yesterday about carriers I thought some folks might be interested in this video,, which shows the USS Wasp, LHD-1, which is an "amphibious assault ship." though, I suppose, since it "carries airplanes," some people will want to call it a carrier. It's about a third of the size of a CVN, which you can easily see in this video. It is showing the F35B Lightning, which is the VTOL version of the the Joint Strike Fighter. Critics had suggested this would "burn holes in the deck," which, of course, it does not do. Though still dangerous to be on the flight deck, it's nowhere near as hazardous as the deck of a CVN.
