Zumwalt-Class Destroyers: A Technological Marvel or Financial Misstep?

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

That is a pretty cool looking ship, I'll give it that.  But you can't call a time out in battle for a re-boot, software update, or virus removal.
