Once again, no coincidence.

Trump gets quite as much ego satisfaction from ruining things and people as he might from any victory.

Come to think, a better operational definition of evil is hard to find.

I remember when republicans actually cared about America.

Not so much anymore.

They've all been convinced they'd be better off if America failed.

Putin couldn't be happier.

Trump couldn't be happier.

Xi couldn't be happier.

This country is cooked.

When America advanced racial equality by electing Obama, Republicans turned on America.

The thai VD will make up for it.

But nowhere near long enough, according to the CiC.

No mention of the other ships in the convoy. Carriers don't go out alone.

Talk to anyone in the Navy. The carrier made the news, but the complaints are typical non-military crap.

Most vets call these complainers exactly that. Suck it up.
The other ship crews are laughing at the weak sailors on that carrier.

Someone said recently, carriers make the news. Now listen to the support ships. They're embarrassed of them.

If it was wartime, the fleet doesn't sit still, it doesn't lounge in ports, and their movements are always sealed.

The fat------------ said 18 dead American troops is small potatoes. What a degenerate.

"Worst deployment we've ever had."

That's quite understandable.

They had the worst president we've ever had doing the deploying.

Given the war with Ian, this is an article that chilled me to the bone. It's a NYTs article and hopefully the link isn't behind a paywall: www.nytimes.com

The entire country could be taken out with 2 man gangs of shooters at a handful of strategic locations. Picture the whole of the US without power. Pray that Iran doesn't wise up to this.

You do know that they have internet access and can read English too?

We are an open society to them and they are a closed to us.

A major disadvantage in a time of war (that's not a war).

Personally I'm surprised they haven't done more and I am just waiting for that other shoe to drop.

Long deployments are OK if you bring enough weed and have A/C priority.

Hahahahah. Yeah, nobody is going to notice 2 Persian dudes after the first few get shot. No way we could, we do not see color in this nation.

How'd it go for Japanese Americans last time there was a sabotage concern?

These articles are movie scripts at best.

Life often imitates art.

And vice versa.

Your fantasies and MAGAs line up then. Infiltrated by thousands of Iranian agents. I bet they came over the Mexican border too, and the Cartels helped them.
