This is almost as bad as Congressman Andrew May’s colossal blunder back in 1943. During a press conference, he revealed that many US submarines were surviving because the Japanese were setting their depth charges too shallow. Admiral Lockwood, COMSUBPAC, later estimated that this blunder cost the US ten submarines and eight hundred men.

“This is almost as bad as Congressman Andrew May’s colossal blunder back in 1943...”

Well, at least the POS went to Jail and his career was over - “convicted by a federal jury on July 3, 1947, on charges of accepting bribes to use his position as Chairman of the Military Affairs Committee to secure munitions contracts during the Second World War...”

Truman pardoned him.

Those Dems stick together, like Good Little Communist Party Members...

These people have been compromising us for far too long.
