Warships should be of wood, not iron; sails, not steam; the soldier cannot safely handle a self-loading pistol; magazine-fed repeating rifles will cause the troops to waste ammunition; biplanes are superior to monoplanes; I won’t be able to see out of an enclosed cockpit; the guns should be in front of the pilot so he can clear any jams; the M1 will never replace the ’03 Springfield; submarines are unfair weapons only useful in coastal waters; tanks are expensive, unreliable, awkward white elephants; and the aircraft carrier will never replace the battleship!
