The Navy's traditions live on in the hearts of those who serve

A Hollow Navy for a Hollow foreign policy!

With the carnage in Llybia and Egypt, the president (small "p" on purpose) moved to DDG's off the coast of Llybia.   You say; "no big deal"?  YES it is!!

Do you realize that two ships is One Percent of the Navy, and even more if you don't count the shallow water ships like the LCS and PC's and the non-combatants like the Mine Hunters.  Then we probably approach five percent or more.

That is s huge investment for this area.  Just a thought!!

  1. You may be afflicted with something effecting your brain, Master Chief, but your calls on what afflicts the rest of us are spot on.

  2. You cant park a B-52 off of somebody's coast... you can't have C-17's with Army Rangers just hovering waiting to pull the trigger. Nothing can influence Diplomacy like a vessel off your shores. A couple of destroyers, tomahawks, NGFS...

    and just think if we wanted to make them laugh you could have sent one of the LCSs!
