“Helmets for sailors?”

Ain’t gonna happen except during GQ.

We almost lost one - rough seas - guy slipped and hit the back of his head on a hatch knife edge. “Doc” sewed him up on the mess room table amidst the smell of vomit - the guy was out cold - no anesthetic needed. He did puke all over the place tho while we held him as study as we could. circa.1962.

Best ya don't post anything more like that.

Some liberal pol will grab on to that like glue.....

"Bush does not protect out sailor's while on duty!"

"Bush hate's the Navy....no concern for safety at sea..."

"Bush spent $$ elsewhere why our young men's safety at sea is COMPLETELY ignored!"

See what I mean?

Look me in the eye and say they would not do that....

Reality has absolutely nothing to do with it.
