If we start to get our hands full in Afghanistan, China goes after Taiwan.

What do you think?

We won't. This isn't going to be a conventional war. Small skirmishes, surgical strikes. We'll have our eyes and ears all over the world on high alert. This would be the absolute wrong time for someone to think they could sneak one by us.

They need a much larger navy to pull that off.

Yeah, the chances of that happening are like the chances of Hijackers flying commercial airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in the same day!  How about the chances that China invades the west coast are like the chance of us giving them our nuke secrets or the Panama canal!  Planerench wary.

China doesn't have the troop carriers necessary to pull off an invasion of Taiwan, yet.

What is interesting is that there will be vets from many different regions.  Everyone will not be in the same place.  One guy might have spent a few years in the mountians of Afghanistan while the other guy was in triple canopy jungle in the phillipines chasing another cell.
