The USS Gerald R. Ford has been at sea since June last year. The Republican leader’s decision to extend its deployment for a second time has snowballed into a growing list of problems, such as blocked toilets and sewage troubles.
Support the troops (with thoughts and prayers).
Gleefully send them off to a pointless war and then tell them we can’t afford to take care of them. The Republican way.
That’s nothing. Wait for them to come back disabled from the war and be called welfare-queens for the miserable rest of their life.
Man, I wish it were one-sided.
If Joe Biden had his way we’d still be in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, and Libya. (The 7 countries where Obama was making war at the end of his presidency all at the same time.)
Whataboutism is awesome.
‘in’ is doing some very different lifting from case to case. America is ‘in’ the local airport, and they haven’t invaded yet. Our own troops will be ‘in’ Haiti or their own back yards, but there for support as a unified force and not just to go armed.
‘Making war’ is going a lot of heavy lifting here too.
I worry you’re making points out of very little, but I don’t need to debate that.
Thankfully, the ship is surrounded by emergency toilet
As is the US isn’t figuratively shitting on the world, now they’re doing it literally.
“An army marches on its stomach”, meaning the troops need a steady supply of food.
I think that also means “An army marches on its butthole”, because the waste gotta go somewhere.
