It seems to me, if there is a screwup...the navy is there. Just a few in my lifetime, fire on the Forestall, Viet Nam era, another carrier about that time, broke down for a year because some queer threw a paint scraper in the reduction gears. The USS Pueblo handed over to the NOKO's, not a shot fired. The USS Cole bombing. The gunboat sailors captured by Iranian gunboats and humiliated on national tv. Naval recon plane surrendered to Chinese forces in the China Sea. Two collisions with tankers in the Gulf. That's just a few that I can recall. WTF?


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
