I actually said 1 was disciplined above. Have to think that was due to the sheer loss of life and publicity related to how these men died vs negligence by the Commander
Look, in war, **** happens. How many PT boats were cut in half? I have no idea but who your family is makes a difference. I just asked, he said he thought that anybody else "might" have been court martialed".
he is right though, I hate to say. here is a sad example

In the service, people are made scapegoats, whether they deserve it or not. Personally, if the movie was correct, Kennedy or McVay wasn't at fault if that's the way it played out.

I must give you credit. You do a remarkable impersonation of a Trumpster!
you need to research what a conservative is....and then you need to understand that it is folks like you who created Trump because you put forth a horrible list of prospective presidential nominees.......when the hildebeast is the best you've got then you need to shut up ......I am a conservative....was before Trump and will be after Trump.....keep your liberal philosophy...it doesn't work here

ADmiral Kimmel was blamed for Pearl Harbor when he was never given the intelligence that was available to him that might indicate that Japan might attack. That was the governments fault again.

Roosevelt brought us the new Deal which did nothing.The only thing that got the economy moving was the war. This was after 3 terms of Obama like policies.

no...my choice for pres was democrat jim webb who never had a chance...I voted for Trump because I was scared to death of the alternative.....two buckets of **** and you had to pick the one that stank the least....to tell you the truth I never voted a straight ticket until 2016 and then only because of the hildebeast and her "basket of deplorables " comment......I disagree with Trump a lot but will defend him on here because he is the president and because of the TDS that affects the thinking of several of your liberal bretheren

Exactly.....some of the nutjobs on this board just cannot accept that he was elected POTUS. I've never seen anything in my lifetime like this campaign by the media to undermine the elected President. The job they did on Nixon was bad...but NOTHING like this.

THE MEDIA ??? He undermines himself. lets use for example yesterday. he stated to the military that he gave them a 10% raise. was that a true statement or did the media undermine him. Two weeks before midterms he said he was going to pass a 10% tax break for the middle class. It never happened. undermined by the media? Trump tells you the media is bad and you swallow it. Trump tells the media on Air Force one he has no knowledge of the payments to Stormy Daniel's. Turns out to be a blatant lie. undermined by the media?? i hope you aren't serious because if you are, I feel sorry for you. For an educated adult to accuse the media of undermining and pathological liar , I feel sad for you. read the article below for another perfect example of Trump undermining himself by lying.

And sitting back and doing nothing like Hoover was the right thing to do?????

Let’s see:

A conservative is in favor of a borrow and spend policy that explodes the national debt. The largest percent increases in debt have come under conservative presidents starting with Reagan.

A conservative is in favor of sending US troops into virtually every significant conflict in the world. See Lindsay Graham and John McCain.

A conservative is in favor of turning America into a functional theocracy.

A conservative is in favor of the American kleptocracy led by Trump.

That about covers it.

I believe in as small a federal government as possible . I believe there should be a flat 10 or 15% tax with no exemptions. I believe that a person should get a job according to talent and or experience no matter what their race,gender,religion or sexual preference but.I'm tired of " I deserve ---------- because I am--------.I believe that marijuana should be legalized and taxed in the same way that alcohol and cigarettes are, and the jails should be emptied of those folks in there for having a pipe or a couple of joints. Think of the money that would save and generate.I don't want government interfering in my daily life... ie.. telling me what insurance I have to buy or how many guns I can have. I believe in the right to work and not have to be in a union and I've worked both ways. I disagreed with Viet Nam and the Iraqi war. I don't believe we should be the worlds policeman but sometimes you have to kick a little ***. I believe that we should stop foreign aid to all those countries who shake our hand and stab our back. Take that money and help our poor here at home.....same deal with the United Nations.....these beliefs coincide with conservatism more than liberalism...therefore I am a conservative....and whomever comes closest to my beliefs gets my vote plain and simple....so endeth the lesson...peace:victory:be unto to you and your offspring
