"Teribus, what in the hell are you talking about?" - Asks Jack The Sailor.

Pointing out to you Jack that the USA is nowhere remotely close to being on a "War Footing", her armed forces are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, but even in those theatres they are not fighting on a "War Footing", apart from the troops operating independent of NATO in Afghanistan they are operating at the request of the UN in support of the sovereign governments of those two countries.

I'll stand by what I said - "If the USA was actually at war with any other nation on this planet it would be over in less than 48 hours."
