Greetings and Salutations!
Whoo! Hot times in the comments!
Keep it civil is my only request.
Now…
The title tonight?
Which leads me into this:
A very interesting thread
One I can very well believe.
Especially since the Boat has been on an 8 month long tour without a break, as well as the general attitude towards ‘not dying for Israel’ being almost rampant throughout the lower enlisted these days…
This ain’t the same DotMil I remember that followed orders blindly and without question. In fact Gen Z and a LOT of Millenials have made it a point o be contrarian assholes when it comes to their service.
One of the comments summarizes it nicely:
They are inside a large moving target, impossible to miss from space, sailing to fight an Israeli war and to distract people from the Epstein files. It may be hard to sink a carrier, but 500kg of explosive detonating inside a confined space full of aircraft fuel and ammunition will at least kill and disable hundreds of sailors.
Yep.
No wonder the Yids are shitting in their yamakas.
Them lil hats know the jig is up.
So otherwise, Discuss as needed
I’ve got an oh-dark early doc appointment
More Later
Big Country
Maybe it’s time to post Marines back on the ships
It would be glorious if the enlisted rose up in unison and told the REMF’s they simply weren’t going to die for israel’s desire to conduct yet another real estate rip off scam (and it’s just like a bunch of juice to do something like that, ain’t it?) We’ve (well, our ruling class, anyway) has already enabled far more than enough of that shit on behalf of “our greatest ally”.
Granted, it’s never been done at scale (that I’m aware of) so I wonder what the official response would be to an entire carrier giving the upper command the big fuckoff. Sure they can court martial every one of them, but they can’t be readily replaced, especially when on deployment half a world away.
can’t blame them. they KNOW they being used by the REMFs. “congress critters” with stock hoping to make a killing. there is no threat to US. there is way too much information out now for them not to know
just how fucked up this is. I mean, how would you like it if you knew some congress critters are walking around with a hard on wanting something to kick this nightmare off ? and they tried to cut vet bennies
not that long ago too ? gee, why fight and maybe die or worse for some assholes who don’t give a shit about you ? if 9/11 never happened, we would have never gone into the sandbox. and “they ” know that.
and that was bullshit con if there ever was one. plane wrecks leave a HUGE mess. all over the place.
I didn’t see much of that in the pictures of 9/11. funny that ?
Good. My generation was sold the whole bullshit war on “fighting them over there” and Toby Kieth songs. And we answered the call. Call me a little bitter..
Hope the Zoomers do better. No part of The Oath mentioned proxy wars for the fucking hebes or anyone else.
No kidding. And yet, fighting them “over there” wasn’t enough, now we have them embedded right here too – by the millions – and ready to pop off right in our own back yards. Yet another of the huge lies that were sold to the public at large as justification for some bullshit that didn’t need doing in the first place, considering we went after the wrong target in retribution for 9/11.
I can’t speak from personal experience about how the USS Gerald R Ford’s Vacuum Collection Holding Tank system works, as I have never been on one of those, but I do know they did NOT use the old salt water flush system that the ten Nimitz class used. That VCHT system is one of the many brand spanking new systems the Ford class has had persistent issues with since it was built. I was stationed on 5 carriers over my 20 years: Kitty Hawk, George Washington, Dwight D Eisenhower, and John C Stennis, and none of them ever had any real issues flushing stuff down the toilets AFAIK. They did sometimes had issues with “reverse flow”, if you know what I mean, where the shitters would spew crap in reverse.
Hull Techs are the rate that works on the CHT systems on board ship, and they are also welders; they run the weld shop on the ship.
In WW2, the German navy never left port. The navy was full of ratings with training and skills that transfer straight over to private shipping, 180 from the draftees in the trenches.
When the generals knew the war was lost, they sent orders to the fleet to sortee out and just see how many British ships they could sink before they were all sunk, since they knew whatever treaty wouldn’t let them keep the ships.
The orders never left the radio rooms. The radiomen called the chiefs, not the admirals. The entire navy mutinied before command even knew they had orders. No one was taking a suicide mission.
That’s a great historical anecdote. And isn’t it interesting how incidents like that never get any mainstream exposure. Gotta keep beating on that Lee Greenwood manufactured patriotism to keep the grunts in line. Can’t have the cattle that they plan to run through the meat grinder for fun and profit getting any ideas now, can they?
Until a boat sinks, this is nothing more than modern media horse shit…nothing more, nothing less. If not, extreme prejudice until the mutiny is squelched.
