Support the troops, you incompetent fucks.

Trump never tires of patting himself on the back for all he has done for veterans. So it's just active duty military he doesn't give a damn about? How many soldiers will die needlessly in the service of Dear Leader's ego?

OK, Captain Crozier; but I need you to do me a favor, though...

Donnie could put them up, if he gave a shit. Manila is not far from Guam. Trump Tower, Manila. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

Where are the ribbons? The tears? The medals? Like every other fucking thing in Trump's life, it's all a lie. I want to see some outrage on the part of everyone who ever had a yellow ribbon magnet on their car.

Holy Hell- sitting here in muddy central Maine reflecting on my Navy experiences from many years ago it occurs to me that NONE of the places I deployed (to include NOB Norfolk) would have been able to berth a CVN ship's company on short notice, to say nothing of providing anything like CDC- standard berthing. The closest might actually be when we had the top floor of a Honolulu hotel once in the mid-90's- single rooms, segregated from the other guests- but even then we were eating at The Shorebird every night and drinking at Mooselook McGillicuddy's, so that wouldn't work either. One thing's for sure- Trump will make this skipper pay for this letter. Count on it.

Just spitballing here. Fly the air wing to a base ... wherever? Turn the hanger deck into a COVID hospital? Bring *on* more medical staff?

But then I was a submariner. I don't really know enough about these big targets.

A very bigly number, many beautiful powerful soldier will die! Maybe more than under Obama, no one knows, we'll see. Sailors and airplane people too, maybe even space men.

Sounds like the non-COVID folks are being put up out on the beach at empty hotels- your idea for the rest makes sense as well. I'd imagine the air wing bingo-ed over to Anderson already- not much else in the vicinity IIRC.

The Army must win the next 100 games. It’s unfair for the Navy to carry a practice field wherever they go on aircraft carriers.
