But that ignores the fact that wars such as we would likely be required to fight in the Middle East, or even potentially with China, would not be low intensity conflicts, but rather, of a major scale. I think we are working with the concept that we will never have the luxury of building up a force by sea again, as we did in Gulf War I. (God, it is terrible to think in those terms, isn't it?) And we are adding to that, that if we did, the present tube artillery plus the Air capability would be enough to get the job done. "Korea II", or "China I" would be fought that way. If we did have to fight those wars, would Crusader be nice to have? Of course! But, where do you stop?
