    It's impressive to spend as much as we do on the military and still come up short on resources

    The Axis Powers, Germany especially, ran into the same problems. Too much reliance on wunderwaffe and ideology poisoning manufacturing causes $250k Tiger tanks to get blown up by $13.5k Shermans/T-34s.

    This is making me lose my mind with anger.

    Fucking Epstein Class fascists flailing away at anything that moves, like a hammerhead shark.

    Still pissed, 70 years later, that a sports squad-size of expatriate rebels on a rickety boat from Mexico against all odds created a people's revolution that threw out all the Yankee economic terrorists who owned all their land and businesses and had been running open market prostitution and gambling rings.

    Literally makes me sick to my stomach that that noblest of countries (think of the strides in medicine and education alone they've made - and then selflessly offered to all anywhere who needed, for free!) is so under siege right now and teetering.

    Anyone else thinking of going down to at least lend a hand?

    Was the Ford hit or was this a poopoo laundry fire related incident?

    Launched in 1972, the oldest aircraft carrier in the world.

    So, if it was supposed to be decommissioned that likely means it has reduced crew, as the detailers would have started moving them on (the schedules for this are determined years in advance). Also, when a crew knows they’re decommissioning, they get real shitty on maintenance because who cares.

    Doesn't the US have 7 other aircraft carriers not in maintenance or hit? Why this one?
