Re: Todays Hi-res US Navy Photos!
Well these pics are really good, uhh I'm don't get what you mean about getting a beat down lol, but my comment that I would want to make is that I hope the PLAN (and PLAAF) could get better paint jobs on their equipment like US ones. I mean the US' paint jobs on their aircraft and destroyers are absoulutely fantastic (like, grey and black and such), but the Chinese ones look like US ones during the vietnam war.
We get 240+ hits a week on this thread and I guess not one PLAN fan has an opinion.I'm not surprised. Because I can understand how an PLAN fan would be envious of the USN and would not wish to state that in our forum for fear of being "called out" or "beat down" by the pro PRC forces. That's Ok..
Some one could at least post those famous words from mp.net..."nice pics' But no. Not even that. Not a single word of praise or one stinkin' question since my post about these USN pics from a PLAN fan.
I bet you if I posted some pix tonight some may show up on sina.com tomorrow or the next day.. That's cool.
I stand on this statement. >> PLAN fans are envious of the USN and their capabilities and don't want to suffer a internet beat down by the pro PRC forces.
I think I'll post a few more pix of the Worlds Greatest Navy.

Thanks for your reply Blitzo!
I think the PLAN paint jobs on the ships are fine. But on their aircraft..Yikes! They need to work on that! The aircraft just don't look professionally maintained at times. I'm pretty sure they are well maintained.

Re: Todays Hi-res US Navy Photos!
I just recently went back to my old parents' house and I still see my old AH-64 Apache and F-16 poster hanging on the wall of my room. My box of old models of F-15s, F-14s, USS Enterprise and Missouri, and M1 tank models (back when they made great model kits) that I put together sitting in a box in the closet.
There are plenty of pro-West/anti-China Chinese fanboys out there. So I don't know why it is expected for the "pro-China" camp to stroke the ego of American fanboys when we know that in virtually every other military forum, the US fanboys are majority anti-Chinese. Do the Chinese expect the pro-West neo-con Chinese-hating posters on other forums to give their kudos to the Chinese achievements that they don't recognize in the first place? It's not expected at all. Personally for me, I'm proud of Chinese advancements. It doesn't say anything about the US military. But then many pro-West fanatics have weird black and white interpretations when they don't see Chinese or anyone else bowing down to Western superiority. Somehow if they don't acknowledge Western superiorty, the Chinese must think they're superior and that must mean they're racist Nazis thinking they're better than everyone else. And they must be planning to take over the world and put every non-Chinese in extermination camps. And yes there are plenty of people who think just like that. I can pretty much say that no Chinese thinks they're superior to the US but that doesn't mean we have to bow down to the West like Rome expected of everyone. I see plenty of Chinese rabidly defending the US against Chinese who don't follow lock-step in their way of thinking. I see far more "anti-Chinese Chinese" intimdating those Chinese that dare to show a little pride than the other way around. It's not surprising to me because that's the history of Chinese-American politics in San Francisco. The "anti-China faction" used intimidation and threats against anyone who dared to show an opinion that did not follow their politics. Chinese journalists were even murdered who dared to question the "old establishment" then. So I don't see anywhere in military forums where the pro-China fanboys intimidating the "not-so-pro-China faction." When in the forums it actually parallels the old way Chinese-Americans politics that ran in San Francisco not too long ago.
