When did they do away with the Sixth Fleet having a Carrier Air group always in the Mediterranean? We use to rotate with the Forestall, the Kittyhawk and Kennedy, spending six months there at a time. And this rotation was going on for years before I joined the Navy. We were capable of handling any threat that popped up - like Libya, Lebanon, and this was still during the Cold War with the Soviets.

Now we have to move ships from other parts of the World to respond.

We are fighting a war on the fly. This will end badly.

Even ONE body bag returning home as a result of this demented Obama horse manure is one too many.

I read this in a post on HotAir on Tuesday.A poster had flagged an article from the Camp LeJeune base newspaper. The Kearsarge MEU, the 26th, is already doing its float on scene. The 173rd Airborne Bde in Vincenza Italy is on,according to another HA poster, 18 hour alert status. Two MEUs and an airborne bde. seem a substantial force for an expansion of our current “kinetic military action”. BTW, IIRC the 26th MEU is a special ops capable unit.

Where have I seen this before ... ?

We send in “military advisors” but no “combat” troops, so no problem. Then we increase the number of “military advisors” substantially. Eventually we can’t hide the fact that we’ve got a substantial armed force “in country” ready to handle any contingency including ... whoops ... combat.

Gulf of Tonkin ... Gulf of Sidra ... sure sounds familiar.
