Chris, this is by far the most depressing cartoon in a long time. Between Obama’s appeasement and the worst SECNAV in history my Navy is going to hell in a hand basket. Sad to see the world’s greatest Navy become just another victim of the SJW transformation.
Sad to think some poor bastards will be serving on the USS Gabby Giffords.

Sorry, oh Wise and Wonderful Inkslinger, but I seriously suspect you to be in error. I expect Hildabeast to win by a landslide (electorial if not popular vote – recall Stalin’s sage words on casting vs counting votes). I do not expect to see a non-Leftist POTUS in office before I die.

The ammo issue is not new. The problems with the Mark-14 torpedo during WW II are legendary. Oddly enough, In the book “Rising Sun, Falling Skies” in the early months of the Pacific War, the US Navy found that 75% (yes three quarters!) of its 5-inch shells were defective and would not detonate. In combat they found themselves shooting over-sized bullets at armored enemy ships or attacking enemy planes.

It took the Church of Rome 350 years to apologize to Galileo Galilei for putting him under permanent house arrest for his refusal to recant his support for the heliocentric Universe posited by Copernicus.

“Fortunately, we’re not going to need riflemen (or female riflemen) any more because Ash Carter has redefined the US as a non-fighting power. In fact, we’re not only through fighting, said Carter on a trip where he seemed to accept China’s extended sovereignty of the South China Sea, we’re not even going to be intimidating anyone anymore.”
Now if I could remember where I saved this from. Usually I save the exact site. It was this week.
The sad reality is that it is, all of it, conceivable and believable, as evidenced by this strip right here and the course this ship of state has taken these last eight…no, dare I say it, twenty-plus years.
The question is, is it reversible, can the course be corrected before we self-scuttle in a sea of self-shame, self-blame, self-hate, and self-denial.
And the answer is, I don’t know.

I doubt it is reversible short of a complete reboot of the republic to a pre-Marbury v Madison state.

Doing it to a country, I fear, will be an even longer, more unpleasant and even bloody task.

I hear you. Two of my uncles served under Patton. One was the guy who drove his field car, in fact. The other one was a Sherman troop CO under then-Col. Creighton Abrams.
They agreed that the only one scarier than Gen. Patton or Col. Abrams was Gen. Bradley. He scared the shit out of the higher ups because he was always up front, half the time commanding with a walkie-talkie (backpack unit) from a “CP” in a ditch alongside the road.
One time Gen. Smith (Walter B.) came up, hunting Gen. Patton. He found him going over some maps with two of his cols. on the hood of the Dodge, with my uncle watching for unfriendlies. Asked Patton where “Brad” was. “Last time I saw him, headed that way”, hooking his thumb in the direction of the FLOT.
About that time “Brad” called back on the radio for arty fire support. Smith wanted to know where he was.
“Watch for the splash, I’ll be just this side of it” was the reply.
Gen. Smith turned a few interesting shades at that.
Now those were by-God COMMANDERS.

It’s “USNS” (US Naval Ship) Cesar Chavez, not “USS.” Chavez is a dry cargo hauler operated by Military Sealift Command and crewed by civil service mariners; not a commissioned warship.

Not to defend the Libs, but in fairness it should be mentioned that ships have been named for living Republicans also. The contract for the nuclear aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan was let in 1994 – while Slick was in office?) and Nancy Reagan cristened the hull in 2001. The former President did not attend that ceremony, nor the one where the ship was commissioned due to being in late stage Alzheimer’s.
April 17, 2016 at 3:59 pm

I offer this as penance for defending Libs above.
US Navy welcomes the USS Bill Clinton
The USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS1) set sail today from its home port of Vancouver, BC.
The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to President Bill Clinton “for his foresight in military budget cuts” and his conduct while president. The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which although they cannot be launched or captured on the 100 foot flight deck but form a very menacing presence.
As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board. The 20 person crew is completely diversified and includes members of all races, creeds, sex, and sexual orientation. This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy Carter, is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of the United States at all costs.
An on board Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find America offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may sound hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound very sincere.
The ship’s purpose is not defined so much as a unit of national defense – but instead in times of conflict the USS Clinton has orders to seek refuge in Canada. The ship may be positioned near the Democratic National Party Headquarters for photo-ops and can be used extensively for social experimentation, and whatever other worthless jobs, the ex-commander-in-chief and his wife can think of.
It is largely rumored that the ship will also be the set for the upcoming season of MTV’s “The Real World”.
(The ship was renamed and commissioned USS William J Clinton when someone realized the USS Blowfish was already taken.)
If a Republican is elected POTUS, which country will have the guts to try any of this crap. My standing ROE would be “Shoot first, don’t ask a fucking question.” And I’d let friend and foe alike know it. I’m pretty sure there would not be a second event. You want to stop bullies bloody their nose. Don’t try to reason with them.

Inconceivable = not able to conceive/reproduce. Combining a limp penis with cancer ridden ovaries will not produce anything worth writing home about.
Nice Princess Bride reference though.
One of my personal favorites.
Thanks Chris.
As.s.s y.y.o.o.u.u.u.w.w.i.i.i.i.s.h.h. How do you type that so it sounds like Wesley falling down the hill?
Not to defend the Libs, but in fairness it should be mentioned that ships have been named for living Republicans also. The contract for the nuclear aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan was let in 1994 – while Slick was in office?) and Nancy Reagan cristened the hull in 2001. The former President did not attend that ceremony, nor the one where the ship was commissioned due to being in late stage Alzheimer’s.
I offer this as penance for defending Libs above.
US Navy welcomes the USS Bill Clinton
The USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS1) set sail today from its home port of Vancouver, BC.
The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to President Bill Clinton “for his foresight in military budget cuts” and his conduct while president. The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which although they cannot be launched or captured on the 100 foot flight deck but form a very menacing presence.
As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board. The 20 person crew is completely diversified and includes members of all races, creeds, sex, and sexual orientation. This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy Carter, is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of the United States at all costs.
An on board Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find America offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may sound hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound very sincere.
The ship’s purpose is not defined so much as a unit of national defense – but instead in times of conflict the USS Clinton has orders to seek refuge in Canada. The ship may be positioned near the Democratic National Party Headquarters for photo-ops and can be used extensively for social experimentation, and whatever other worthless jobs, the ex-commander-in-chief and his wife can think of.
It is largely rumored that the ship will also be the set for the upcoming season of MTV’s “The Real World”.
(The ship was renamed and commissioned USS William J Clinton when someone realized the USS Blowfish was already taken.)

The Clintons – the gift that keeps giving; check out this nauseating exculpatory puff-piece on Monica Lewinsky from the UK Guardian:
Monica Lewinsky: ‘The shame sticks to you like tar’
Nearly 20 years ago, Monica Lewinsky found herself at the heart of a political storm. Now she’s turned that dark time into a force for good

If a Republican is elected POTUS, which country will have the guts to try any of this crap. My standing ROE would be “Shoot first, don’t ask a fucking question.” And I’d let friend and foe alike know it. I’m pretty sure there would not be a second event. You want to stop bullies bloody their nose. Don’t try to reason with them.

Glad I checked those on an empty stomach.
One does have to wonder, speaking of the Patriots that were “retired”, how good is their comsec? I do hope they remember their OATH.
