He is a troll.
Best strategy is to ignore.
Seems like he's trolling here but most of his past posts have been fair and well informed enough. Seems like this has touched a nerve somehow and made him super emotional and unhappy, hence the reaction. His only defense for his entirely unjustified position is that if this works then the USN would have canceled all its carriers. I suppose this is very revealing of the intellect we're dealing with here, if the emotional outburst isn't indicative enough.
Ignores the fact that this technology is being researched and tested so nowhere near operational enough for USN to cancel its carriers. Then ignores that carriers are still 100% effective against all other situations even
IF this LIDAR technique even works
WHEN it becomes operational. Not to mention that carriers are still highly flexible naval platforms that offer much to a navy (submarines too obviously)... following this guy's "logic" anti-tank weapons are fake and aren't ever worth researching because otherwise all armies would have canceled tanks. They still operate tanks, therefore all anti-tank weapons are vaporware, not worth discussing, and if anyone does, Mr. knowledgeable here is justified in treating others like shit and calling them fanboys.
Ignore now that the entertainment value is over. Seriously though, it's unfortunate that some of the most emotionally motivated (read irrational) people, are military enthusiasts. This "hobby" is filled with hate, bitterness, jealousy, and intolerance. It just attracts the worst chauvinists. SDF is definitely a notch above many other gatherings, but it's sad that so many humans do not understand how to think and act.
