That’s because the CIC set out to ruin America.
Go, Navy!
wouldn’t matter if there were 500 ships if the CIC wouldn’t use them.
Each day on here I read about some fantastic new weapon we have, then read about the disastrous condition of our armed forces.
truly confusing.
Howdy! You mean like this video?
Majority of Marine Corps jets grounded due to budget cuts
Apr. 15, 2016 - 2:38 - Lack of funding for maintenance has left majority of aircrafts inoperable
Sad but true article.
Slim odds we’ll ever learn the whole truth about the surrender to the Iranian bass boats.
The scariest part is what do you think the condition of our Nuclear arsenal?
Gotta fund those illegals. Just read a story about how the government is funding start-up businesses for illegals in this country AND aren’t we, the US Taxpaying citizens, “building a wall” in Tunisia to keep illegals from crossing their border?
Chinese have a saying:
A fish rots from the head on down.
I do not know if you are aware of this, but likely odingus ordered them to stand down and get captured by the iranians. I would have disobeyed the order and had one boat tow the other boat back.

Our military is taking lessons from Monty Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol5Dfs7jqFI
We got a lot of good stuff, but it's more expensive than it should be, and the compromises endanger the troops.
On the flip side, the Russians and Chinese have good stuff, too now, just not as much of it.
The real problem is the leadership. Ours sucks, ...and prays five times a day.
"You have a woman's navy!"
The Navy abandoned the safety in numbers policy back in the Clinton years. USS COLE was over a day or more out from the nearest USN ship. The nearest Naval air fire power to respond to the Russians are land based likely in Sicily. We abandoned a two carrier posture in the MED Sea area in the late 80's and even one carrier there 24/7/365 again in the Clinton years.
I wish my older Bookmarks still worked. Many of the Navy readiness ones go back to conditions under Slick Willie and some under W as well. As for the carriers? Half of the 10 we have left active are likely docked meaning physically there at Norfolk Naval Station. Sometimes we actually send a carrier on deployment now. Deployment meaning at least 3 months usually 6-7 months. A very bad decision was made sometime in the Reagan years to build a third carrier pier which made N.O.B. Norfolk a 5 carrier base instead of the three carrier berths it had been even when we had over 20 carriers Navy wide. Previously Pier 12 a two carrier pier and Pier 7 was it as far as carriers go at NOB Norfolk. Or in other words if some Dork in DC decided to order it we can now berth all USN aircraft carriers in one port city all within about a 5 air mile radius.
Pictures of 5 carriers berthed in a row are real easy to find now. I have one picture where some schmuck had four carriers berthed in numerical order of hull ID numbers.
Re: Bookmarks, have you tried pasting the old URL addresses into this website ?
Sometimes you can still retrieve stuff that way.
OK Thanks. I’ll try it tomorrow.
ROLL CALL: Rodents and rot: Military facilities are ‘failing,’ report finds
WASHINGTON — A quarter of the U.S. military’s facilities are falling apart, the Senate Appropriations Committee says.“According to recent facility condition assessment data, one in four Defense facilities are rated as being in poor or failing condition,” the committee wrote in the report that accompanies the fiscal 2017 Milcon-VA spending bill that the panel approved Thursday.Examples of the deteriorating state of U.S. military infrastructure are scattered throughout that report and a similar one, also produced this week, from the House Appropriations Committee. Both documents are rife with references to crumbling and unsafe U.S. military structures, some of which are riddled with mold and rodents.
OK. Let me know if you have any problems using it.
Save
What if the Rusky jet had been a Rusky anti-ship cruise missle?
Our ship would be underwater.
That is wasn’t shot down says we are sitting ducks for all incomings from anywhere - Russia, China, Iran, even N.Korea........
Essentially - we’ve surrendered.......which clearly is O’s international policy.......
