>>I was floored. Maybe no one will notice in DC, but if they do, Mabus is about to be unemployed.

Or he’s auditioning for the new boss.

I read a blog or article the last week that said sometimes those speaking loudest are those not saying anything at all. Have we been hearing from the military or CIA the past week? About the only thing I’ve seen was a statement from the Marines regarding there not being Marines protecting Ambassodor Stevens ... “talk to the State Department” because State is responsible for the ROE (document with Hillary’s signature) is what the Marines said. Now, the Sec of the Navy is using this opportunity to make these comments - I’m guessing the Administration never thought they’d have to vet comments for a launching. I don’t think the armed forces are liking the way Omuslim and Hillary are (not) handling the mess they’ve gotten us into. It looked to me like the Marines were sharply defending their honor (and so they should).

Comments like that are guaranteed to be omitted from any stories in the dinosaur media... unless they run a special story about what a hateful racist he is.

But it’s completely true and accurate that we need to knock the enemy back on their heels and keep pressing until we achieve a complete and devastating victory and there should never be an apology from us for winning.

Great photo of USS Fort Worth pre-commissioning trials last year.

PCU Fort Worth conducts sea trials.

SecNav Mabus was responsible for naming an LPD-17 class ship after that consummate scumbag Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA). This man was one of the chief accusers of fellow Marines of war crimes at Haditha, Iraq, before the facts of the case were known. He was aided and abetted in his accusations by Sen. John F’img Kerry (D-MA) — said to have served in Viet Nam, Laos, and Cambodia doing secret missions there. [How do we know this? Kerry told us and he’d never lie.]

A much younger me is in this photo at the last commissioning I attended, USS CROMMELIN (FFG-37) in 1983.

Now CROMMELIN is being decommissioned at the end of next month. With that, only one of the seven ships I was stationed on will still be active.
