Coast Guard member assaulted by Occupy Boston crowd
Yeah, the Occupy Boston clowns are denying that it was one of their members who spat upon, verbally abused and tossed a water bottle at a female member of the Coast Guard as she passed their encampment. the Coast Guard has warned their troops to avoid the ruckus.
Coast Guard member spit on near Occupy Boston tents: MyFoxBOSTON.com
That’s OK, because twenty years from now, they’ll deny it ever happened like they’ve done for their actions during the Vietnam protests.
Whether it was members of the Occupy Boston crowd or not, they have to admit that they’ve fostered an environment that encouraged this type of behavior.
Thanks to Old Trooper for the link.

In the immortal words of the late great stand up philosopher Andrew Dice Clay, “Talking to her was like masturbating with a cheese grater: slightly amusing, but mostly painful.”
btw last I checked ADC is still alive…
He’s still alive, it’s just his career that’s dead.
With comedy gold like dirty nursery rhymes you wonder why…
@51 My boy Andrew is not late. We saw him in Vegas. Our wives\dates refused to go with us. One of my buds started puking in the limo. We arrived and all I said was that he ate bad sushi. No prob- entrada! Best guy party all week.The Dice lives! However, Wayne Newton is the best for all of us! Voice is shot… But real deal! loves the ” secret squirrels” and is proud to be a vet enabler! Drank a lot of beer in his dressing room after his shows. Great guy! No one better for vets than Wayne!
Liberals are either super rich or super poor? Where the fuck did you get that statisic. From some talking head like Limbaugh saying something along the lines of “Liberals are either welfare queens, or Hollywood types like George Clooney.” It’s nobody in the middle of the income spectrum? I’ve seen you pipe off some stupid stats on here but that one takes the cake. While most Americans will not self identify as liberal, you may be surprised to hear that in independent poll after independent poll vast majorities of Americans come down in favor of policies that tend to fall under the liberal label. You spew out bullshit platitudes, like conservatives are for individual rights, while liberals are against them. When the state tries to overstep its bounds with regards to surveillance, like the NSA warrantless wiretapping, it was liberals who called that policy out onto the carpet. You’ll turn around and say that whole thing was designed to protect the citizenry from terrorists, and that people with nothing to hide shouldn’t be bitching. You’ll say that while at the same time claiming to stand for individual rights and claim that you stand for small government despite the fact that such a policy tramples on the individual right to privacy, as well as several amendments, and enlarges the government. You say you’re for the constitution, but the constitution is against bullshit like that. You think you’ve got a terrorist, you get a fucking warrant. Conservatives claim to be for freedom of religion, but when some muslims want to build a mosque on private property in downtown Manhattan, they start shitting themselves with rage claiming the muslims have no right to do so, and imply that all muslims are responsible for 9/11. They even go so far as to take the case before a city board, thereby trying to use government to stop a sale of private property to a religious group that they don’t like. They’ll say that they support religious freedoms and property rights while they try to deny both to someone they disagree with. You’ll say that you’re… Read more »
King: you make me laugh poseur boy. You are a pathetic little worm that Shore Patrol could beat the s**t out of. Wanna play? Come to Port Orchard Wa and I will thump the whiny stupid from your rancid pathetic ass. Go to the VFW post and ask for the president of the motorcycle group( that would be me).
I’m glad we have gotten that part out of the way King…now,would you please tell us how you really feel about your mother…any breast feeding issues you want to discuss…we are all here to help you and lend you a shoulder to cry on…keep going, it’s very therapeutic for you!
Or you can continue to be anonymous and whiningly yap at your betters while you hide in mommy’s basement getting off on photos of sheared male sheep.

Newsflash, douchenozzle…millionaires are far more likely to identify themselves as Democrats versus Republicans…
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/219081/party-rich/peter-schweizer
Also, look at CNN’s exit polling from 2008. While there was a slight favorability towards Obama versus McCain from those making over $250K per year (53 versus 46 percent, almost the exact same as the overall results), between $50-250K per year, the breakdown was almost 50-50. Only when you get below $50K per year does the breakdown go significantly in the Democrats favor, to the point where below $20K/year it’s almost 3-1 Obama. Why is that, pray tell?
I’d love to sit and argue every little talking point you’ve spewed out, sonny, but frankly I just don’t have the time, and even if I did, I’d be wasting my time on you, especially when you come up with wild shit like, even though recent DNA evidence has exonerated many men who were previously executed. Really? Name one.
But bottom line, liberals have this nasty habit of projecting, and it pisses you off that you can’t even call your own out for your own hypocrisy.
And believe me, you wouldn’t have wanted to trade places with me, son. Five Westpacs and almost eight years of sea duty. Now be a good little boy and submit your FOIA to Jonn or your credibility will be shot. Then again it pretty much is anyway, so keep thumping your chest, sonny. Post proof or STFU, candyass.
nucsnipe–something tells me our boy would be in the valve station or SES, curled up in a ball, wetting himself, and crying for his momma before the COB even finished making the announcement, “Station the Maneuvering Watch!”
NHSparky: Yeah this douche probably wouldn’t have made it to the “Dark Side” of NPS before his brain exploded
Yes, I know that ADC is still alive, hence the disclaimer the very next post stating that I know he is still alive. I was joking about him being dead…joking his career is dead not him…got it.
Fuck, that takes me back. Damn I’m getting old. Weekends at Rosie O’Grady’s and Faith in Physics. Almost felt bad for the “mando commandos” who were there daily from 5 am to midnight.
-Shim for Jesus!
No No Nickel beer at Rosies was on Wednesdays that was the day to be there. Then you had all the strip joints down on the OBT, just stay away from the Parliment House Hotel where weinermunchers like Kingdingus hung out.
Well, I tried to be a good boy during the week lest I join the mando commandos (was for one week when I shorted S-hours). But on those days I couldn’t resist there was a strip joint just outside the back gate near Colonial Drive.
Then again, there was always Daytona during Spring Break. I pissed off one of my classmates when I brought back this hot girl to the hotel room and pounded the farts out of her. Since then, all I have to say is, “Man, Daytona sucks!” and he just gives me that look and a, “Fuck you, man.”
Ah, good times.
I didn’t think you had time for me cocksucker. If I just spent 75 hours at work, I’d sure as fuck wouldn’t be wasting my time with “someone who’s not worth my time”. No I wouldn’t trade places with you. If I was interested in playing run silent run deep, I would have done that in the first place, instead of volunteering for one of the absolute worst jobs in entire military. And Nucsnipe, I give a flying fuck how many barroom brawls you claim to have been in or what VFW related motorcycle crew you lead, I’ve got much more respect for a 120 pound 19 year old kid who picks up a rifle and runs the risk of getting his nuts blown off by an IED than I do for some toolbag riding around in a nuclear powered submarine. I was wrong with my claim of “many” men being exonerated after their execution by DNA evidence. I’m sorry I should have said 15 men awaiting execution on death row, and given the lack of DNA evidence in many cases, it’s very likely that there are more. But I still take up your challenge and I’ll do you one better. Claude Jones and Joseph O’Dell who were both killed and later had DNA evidence emerge which cast serious doubt on their guilt. Of course you’ll retort with serious=/=innocent and I’ll save us both the trouble by rebutting that with serious doubt=gov’t doesn’t get to waste you. Newsflash douchenozzle, The are about 20 million more registered Democrats than there are registered Republicans, so the fact that there are more millionaires registered dem doesn’t surprise me much. But we don’t need to get into voter registration numbers, because your argument itself is founded on shaky ground. Doc claimed that libs are either poor or elite, with little or no middle ground. You’re trying to defend that position by bringing up registration statistics of Democrats and Republicans. Once again, you’re an idiot. Democrat=/=Liberal just like Republican=/=Conservative. While the groups generally correlate to each other, there are plenty of conservative dems and liberal… Read more »
U mad, bro?
King, you said: “You’ll say that you’re for individual rights, but you’ll scream bloody murder when a rape victim goes to an abortion clinic to terminate a pregnancy that was forced on her by some piece of shit. Oh how you’ll rail against her for stopping a clump of cells from developing into a full grown baby. But when an adult is pronounced guilty of murder and sentenced to death, you won’t raise an objection ”
Ok, let’s go with this, because what you state here is pure bullshit and shows that critical thinking skills and you are forever separated.
Who says that a rape victim shouldn’t be able to get an abortion? None of my conservative friends, that’s for sure. Plus, that “clump of cells” has fingerprints at 10 weeks, which is before most women even know they’re pregnant. So that kinda blows your theory of “clump of cells” right outta the water. Plus, if a woman is shot and killed on her way to an abortion clinic, the perp is charged with 2 murders; why?
As for your death penalty analogy; that you really don’t know the difference between abortion and a death sentence only solidifies your position as in idiot. First off I don’t recall an unborn baby committing a crime worthy of a death sentence. Plus, a death sentence is about justice, something that your progressive twisted logic won’t let you process. What crime did that unborn baby commit? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Everything you have thrown out is like reading the progressive playbook, yet you, like a good little progressive, claim that it is conservatives that just throw out platitudes. Nice try, numbnuts, since everything you have babbled about is a bunch of leftwing talking points without using any critical thinking to realize it.
Come back when you have something fresh.
And so, what? Is this “King” er “Queen” like supposed to be the mostest, baddest mutha fOOker ever walking or is it just my imagination? My my my, to think two well educated nuc squids got the better of you, uhhhhhh King? What a dumbass!
instead of volunteering for one of the absolute worst jobs in entire military
Uh, King? Blowjob delivery specialist isn’t a MOS, despite what that cute “sergeant” in the assless chaps told you down in the Castro when you went to enlist.
But seriously, I’m glad he/she/it was satisfied with your effort. Now don’t go spending that dollar all in one place now, ya hear?
Sparky, is that really the best you can do? And streetsweeper, the day that a dipshit like sparky will ever be able to argue something well enough to actually make me change my mind about any political opinion I hold is that day that hamburgers start eating people. OT, did you not read the part of my post where I say I’m not 100% anti-DP? Oh that’s right that’s just part of my “Progressive Playbook”, even though most progressives would give me shit for saying that and also consider me unfit for their label. Most of them think execution itself is barbaric, and more about revenge than anything else. But going back to your claim that my mind can’t process that it’s about justice, please explain to me why I think the BTK killer deserves the DP, and how would I not be basing that opinion on my personal notions of justice? And Trooper, I do the know difference between the DP and an Abortion. If I didn’t then why would I be generally for one and generally against the other. I mean if I honestly thought they were both the same, would I be either pro or con, both of them. I compared the two because anti-abortion types like to claim they are pro-life, when in truth, they are, like just about everyone else, only pro-certain-types-of life. You claim that my comparison of the abortion and the DP is idiotic. Ok, let’s roll with that. Since I attacked the DP on the grounds that it’s far too likely to kill an innocent man then let’s compare the execution of an innocent man to an abortion. Which one do I think is worse? The innocent man. Why? Because he is a fully formed human being capable of thinking for himself, and when he’s walking that last mile, he knows exactly what’s going to happen to him, and he knows he doesn’t deserve it, and he knows that justice isn’t being done. A fetus can’t make that claim, because it’s not yet capable of functioning on its own enough to be… Read more »
Well King, I was not in fact citing bullshit statistics. I was actually citing several studies, and you missed the key word MOST. As for my characterizations of Liberals, for the most part they are dead on. There is sub-schools of though that cover everything from Progressive Trans-nationalism to atheism, And a bunch of other seperate schools of thought. You’ve listed far too many examples for me to take one by one, and seeing as I just came from Rock ’em Sock ‘Em the movie, and am still buzzing on popcorn and action movie, I won’t take oodles of time to debate each point, and again I point out to you that I was talking BROAD STROKES. I AM for religious freedom, but I am also for recognizing that there are inherent differences in religions, that will make them prone to certain types of actions. Buddhists for example will tend towards pacifism, Janis well they’re hard to explain but some of them (a lot of them) tend to be as naked as possible. Islam tends to be very closed, and prone to repression. Its a function of Mohamed’s inability to convert people at first. Actually if you arrange the Surahs in order chronologically you find that they get increasingly violent and intolerant. “people of the Book” go from being kind of like “our misguided cousins” to being flat out wrong headed evil SOBs that you must either convert or kill. Worse it actually contradicts itself. It all comes from the “mother book” and if something comes later it’s the better version. Well those peaceful verses that come early on, tend to be directly contradicted by the later verses which tend to boil down to “fuck these assholes” As for the so called “ground Zero” mosque, well you can understand strong passions there, but how would you think the Japanese feel if America put a consulate right next to where the Hiroshima bomb fell? More than that the people behind that mosque were shady to begin with and its aims seemed just a little too much. Personally I didn’t care. If… Read more »
@50: I was having fun with the Secret Squirrel title. I heard a friend talk about “choclaty goodness” thought I’d throw that out. But really? well how about this retort:
“I gives a fuck”
-brought to you by the public edumercation system.
It is truly amazing how far we have digressed. Back to the original point, the CG command in the Boston area thinks this young woman’s claim is legit, and has ordered SMs not to wear their uniforms. I think it hearkens back to a sad state of affairs in our history. You shouldn’t have to EVER take off your uniform CONUS to avoid getting assaulted.
Sparky, is that really the best you can do?
It’s the best you deserve.
And I’ve spoken with a few of the CG folks down in Boston as well (one of the guys in the shop is former CG.) It’s legit. She’s squared away and not given to dramatic bullshit.
While you’re at it, King Douchenozzle, how do you feel about the fact that the OB shitbags managed to have the Greenway Mobile Food Fest cancelled until at least next spring? Yeah, fuck those hungry people who would have benefitted from the food gathered for the Greater Boston Food Bank! We got REAL problems like getting free shit! The trust fund daddy gave me is running low and I don’t wanna get a REAL job!
Congratulations on once again showing that you don’t give a shit about anyone or anything but yourselves.
As for your claim that most women don’t know until 10 weeks? Really? 10 weeks is 2 shy of a third of the way done. Most women are showing at that point and would get clued in when they miss their period, which would happen at the latest 4-5 weeks after conception. Of course I know there are outliers, especially when you’re dealing with larger women who get sporadic periods and don’t show a baby bump. But if a woman gets raped, she’s probably not going to be waiting 10 weeks to figure out if she’s pregnant anyway.
Bzzzztttt!!! Wrong answer! 40 weeks is the most common gestation period for humans (but Doc could have told you that.) Many women don’t “show” until the fifth or even sixth month.
And if a woman is raped, there are other options besides waiting to see if she’s pregnant before taking other measures. The “morning after” pill is quite effective.
Continuing on, if you and your friends think it’s ok for a rape victim to get an abortion, why would it be wrong for someone who got unlucky with a condom, or just got plain drunk one night. If both fetuses are at the same stage, why is wrong to terminate one, but not the other?
One was a matter of choice. One was not. Funny how ya’ll can’t wrap your brains around that one, now can you? Even if she was “blotto drunk” by your own scenario, it’s still rape because she didn’t give consent. Amazing, no?
King Brian #37: It refers to the Marine unit I was in. VMA-211, also known as the Wake Island Avengers! Go read your history books you slag asses needledicked mosquito fucker. VMA-211 is one of the most decorated Marine Air units around. You couldn’t shoot your way out of a douche bag!
AP when the Coasties get into a position where they have to worry about getting their limbs blown off by an IED then maybe I’d be willing to give them some credit, until then they’re just bush league.

Now go eat a steaming bag of fat dicks.
Sparky I thought you weren’t going to debate him. I knew you’d pull through old buddy old chum 😉 ha ha
Oh and if my bonafides are being called into question to whom should I send my DD-214?
Doc, show your bonafides? To whom? To the one who was a no-show on his in Minnesota? Nah, these trolls don’t even deserve to rest their eyes on our “bonafides”.
We aren’t the one making claims of our service.
The biggest reason I think this fucker is as phony (and queer) as a three-dollar bill is the way he denigrates anyone and anything not 11B.
Newsflash to poseurs–you do not understand this, so step back and read the following several times before going on other boards and attempting to troll cops posing as teenaged girls with your shit…
I will bust the balls of those in other services. Hell, I’ll bust the balls of anyone not a submariner, and on many occasions have busted the balls of anyone not a nuke, or at least not part of Engineering Department.
But at the end of the day, I will NOT, repeat NOT, denigrate the service of another person, nor will any person worth a shit who has worn the uniform of one of our services for more than, say, 15 minutes. We’re like a big dysfunctional family–we’ll fuck with each other to a point most on the outside will never understand, but when the shit hits the fan, we are as close as any family. You fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us.
Will I scorn and denigrate those who sully the uniform my brothers and sisters wear? You betcha. Will I do the same and worse to those who falsely claim honors they have not earned? In a fucking heartbeat.
Honor. Courage. Commitment. Maybe if you knew what those words meant, King, maybe if you had ever practiced them for one miserable moment in your shit-sucking life, you might have a different outlook. Consider that before the next time you hit the, “submit comment” button. Choose wisely, shitbag.
Sparky My dad was a Nuke on the Barb, so I have a great love for the Silent Service. Like yo said. I LOVE shit talking, especially Marines, but at the end of the day we all took the same oath.
and FO, I throw it out there because I have no problem “putting my cards on the table”
29: Doc Bailey, She was leading a group of Vietnam and Iraq Veterans to say the oath to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. She was holding an American flag and linking arms with the other veterans. They arrived to stand between the police and the peaceful protesters, who actually had permission from the private owner of the land they are camped on. The veterans were there because they felt their right to peaceably assemble and exercise free speech was being violated. They and all people there were non-violent. The female veteran was the first one arrested and they approached her and the other vets, grabbed her by the throat and drug her out of there, stomping on the American flag and later throwing it out in the trash. She was arrested. As far as proof… there are videos all over the internet. This actually happened, and I for one, am furious no one is paying attention. These people are NOT protesting you or me. They are saying that the concentration of 77% of the wealth among the 10% of the population (with 1% holding most of that). They are protesting accumulation of wealth in that top 1%… the super rich. They are not against them as people it seems, but in favor of having corporations pay tax (most of the top earning corporations pay $0 in income tax). This literally is different from what happened in the 60-70s. Something is happening. All I know for sure is that the police knocked the entire line of veterans down, including a 74-year-old Vietnam Veteran and others. Didn’t seem like all the police behaved that way, but it’s interesting that the veterans were the first ones hurt by the police.
#86: Say what you will But anything Medea gets involved in is NOT supporting the troops in anyway shape or form. MOST of the people involved in this want things that are simply unattainable. If any of their demands were actually met you could kiss any hope of economic recovery goodbye.
Now this particular incident I am unfamiliar with. With any “protest” the actions on contact are always blurry. But I’m sure there is going to be funness like with every time the G20 is in town.
I tend to care more if veterans get beat up, than hippies. Having said that If the police give a lawful order, why NOT obey it? I mean really there comes a point where pointless gestures are well pointless.
I didn’t watch it on the media. I watched it taking place. YOU watch what is happening on the media. The videos I’m talking about were taken on cell phones and by local media that does not reach people outside of Boston, except on the internet. This isn’t a “protest,” I learned that much. It’s real. You’d be wise to join, rather than fight them. I don’t know what kind of world you want to be in, but this isn’t cutting it for me, not after I watched what the police did to them. “I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
Yea right, the “Veterans” for Peace is anything but. Here is a lesson on how to do it right.
The VFP and IVAW are a joke considering their words and actions. YOU would be wise to see them for who they really are.
The only part I agree with is the last sentence. America is still the shining beacon on the hill. It is a testament of what can be, and what could be yet again. But it requires the people to act with at least some common sense. This whole crisis started under the Community Reinvestment act. Politicians wanting to buy votes or perhaps feeling a tug at the heart strings, but the end result is that people were offered home loans they had no hope of affording. People bought cars that they wouldn’t pay off. And while the economy was good, people would play these games and get better and better homes that they *still* couldn’t afford. Then gas prices went up, and people could afford even less then like a bunch of dominoes it all came down.
Much like the great depression we have poured cash into the system. However we did absolutely dick to correct the underlying problems. There will be more bubbles, because rather than LET the systems fail, and let them correct the problems that caused this failure (GM and Chrysler with UAW is a good example). Also because people fail to realize theres a cyclic nature to most economies both of boom and bust. If one fails to plan appropriatly then naturally it will hurt like hell when there’s a bust.
Having said that, when you do patch jobs and bail outs and try to make a company limp along, they *may* solve the problem, but its also likely that the fundamental flaw in their operations will continue. thus when it becomes an unrecoverable crash, it will be like watching a combine blow. Very VERY messy.
Should companies plan more long term. You betchya. But that would require the US to switch back to a Producer/Saver economy(Vs. the Consumer economy we have now), eliminate Credit except for things like Farming, and pretty much become a more agrarian society. Seeing as people in cities are comfortable with their fast food, cars and internet connections you have about dick of a chance of making that happen.
They are saying that the concentration of 77% of the wealth among the 10% of the population (with 1% holding most of that). They are protesting accumulation of wealth in that top 1%…
Your numbers are just a bit off.

And before you go dismissing the link, consider they sourced it from the IRS.
Most of the tags used by vets here indicate their former unit, their branch of service, or something related to their service. Not so with King Brian. At first I thought that King simply reflected the visitor’s lofty, if delusional, opinion of himself. That still may be true but two other explanations come to mind. One, he is a Monte Python fan and took the moniker King Brian from the character in the movie In Search of the Holy Grail. The other is that he took it from King Brian Boru, the legendary Irishman who, among other accomplishments, founded the O’Brien dynasty.
King Brian has written so much here that there is not a chance he didn’t cover the same material in other blogs, letters to the editor, or online comments. Plus, there is no chance that he didn’t use some pat expression in his diatribes, making him easier to find. The more someone writes, the more he reveals. If anyone wants to take the time to play on Google, I am quite sure that you will find King Brian. I’m not doing it, at least not today, but if you do, you will find him.
King in #73: You claim that innocent people are sent to the gallows? Prove it. Show me where you have empirical data to back up that claim. Do you want to know how many unborn babies are innocent? 100%.
The difference between rape and a broken condom is really easy to answer and I’m surprised you haven’t picked up on it. A rape victim doesn’t have a choice; two people in the back seat of a car have a choice, so, technically, I am pro-choice since the risk of pregnancy is assumed at the moment you drop your drawers. As with a lot of things, we have become a society of no responsibility and your view of abortion is, sadly, quite common. You zigged when you should have zagged? No problem, just abort it, no responsibility for your actions. It’s all good.
“Because he is a fully formed human being capable of thinking for himself, and when he’s walking that last mile, he knows exactly what’s going to happen to him, and he knows he doesn’t deserve it, and he knows that justice isn’t being done. A fetus can’t make that claim, because it’s not yet capable of functioning on its own enough to be considered a full fledged person. ”
By your standard (which is one of the usual arguments for abortion) then a baby out of the womb and up until about 1 year old should be able to be killed legally. Show me a baby under a year old that can function on their own, actually even further out than that (they say the age of reason is about 7). I’m going by your words, so don’t accuse me of twisting them.
When it comes to the DP, I’m not always in favor of it and in fact think that it should be used sparingly, just like abortion.
I would go the other way, in that BECAUSE the person who commits a crime is aware of the wrong he has done and a child (even a zygote) does not.
Sparky, for a second there you had me worried. I thought I was going to click on something and see some poor Coastie who can’t walk anymore because Achmed managed to send an RPG through the vehicle he was riding it. Instead you give you me Coast Guard personnel from World War 2. Oh, how contemporary. I suppose when I say something like the Merchant Marine being a safer place to work than the actual Marines, or the Army, you’ll send me a link about MM deaths during WW2 too. OT you read what I write but you don’t retain things very well. When I posted that I personally would consider personhood at roughly 12 weeks, you somehow took that to mean that I am a member of the Peter Singer school of thought which holds that it’s acceptable to terminate anything that’s not a year old. While I generally use cognition as a basis for what I believe constitutes an actual human being, and not something that is just a potential human, this doesn’t mean I draw that line at a year. As for your whole bullshit notion about personal responsibility and abortion. I didn’t realize a baby was supposed to be a punishment for having sex drunk, having sex with a broken condom, or having sex in the heat of the moment without one. “Oh look at the filthy slut, she fucked that dude and now she doesn’t want to live with the consequences. Fucking whore.” You act like someone choosing to terminate a pregnancy that they do not want is acting like someone who flees the scene of an accident that they caused. Lesson learned though, don’t have sex because that could lead to a baby and it’s wrong to want to delay that until you’re older, have more money to raise a child, and are married to someone who’s going to stick around and help raise the tyke. But it’s ok to do it in the context of a rape, even though the life being destroyed is not the one who caused the rape and is… Read more »
You all are hopeless. A cynic never arrives at the truth. Judge veterans with moral courage all you want. They are braver than you.
Yea, because none of use are Veterans.
I didn’t say it was ok, but look at the larger context of the time. This is set on the backdrop of the Cold War when we felt that our notional allies checking the Soviets notional allies was extreamly important. Keep in mind that we as a nation were worried abou GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR. also keep in mind that aside from one (repeat ONE) Alpha strike by a US carrier group against Libya, our record of ME direct intervention to that point led to the Beruit embassy bombing and the embassy being stormed in Iran. ALSO considder that the nation was STILL recovering from Vietnam, the wounds were very fresh. Direct intervention for purely moral reasons on a tertiary with players only notionally allied with the superpowers? Come on now. Think about that.
Before you call someone an idiot considder the idiocy of your own position
Congrats, King–you are in fact the King Douchenozzle.
Way to go in completely fucking wrapping what I said into something it wasn’t.
Tell me, do YOU have a Navy Cross? Silver Star? A few stickers left over from your last box of Cap’n Crunch?
My whole point, which sailed over the point that is your fucking thick skull, is that you deride Coasties as somehow “bush league” (your words.) Really? Let’s examine that.
Were you in fact aware they are in the Gulf? Probably not. Have been since 2003. Ever talked to the crew of a fishing boat in Maine, Washington, or Alaska who have been rescued by these guys? Ever done a boarding on a suspected (or actual) drug boat?
As I stated before, I’ve wrung more seawater out of my socks than most people have ever sailed over, and I’ll take my hat off to these guys any. fucking. DAY. They go out to save people and do their jobs in conditions where you’d likely void your bladder and say, “Fuck this!”
So go shove your bush league comment up your ass, scooter. To paraphrase the meme, “You dun fucked up, boy.”
