OT or Not OT: Twilight 2030

An interesting article on Russian vs. American military procurement policies.

And another, from the same blog, on the possible near-future irrelevance of the modern supercarrier.

I may be coming across as a hater, but I'm not. I greatly admire and root for the U.S. military and I hope that it overcomes the hurdles, some self-inflicted, others imposed from outside, that it faces moving into the next half of this decade. I just feel the need to counter the fanboy "we're invincible 'cuz we won the Cold War" thinking that some of my fellow Americans still cling to. What I like about these articles is they offer solutions, instead of just blithely defending current doctrine.
