You just said we were not at war with Iran. So why would the sailors be following the POW code?

No US Marine answers to Pat Robertson or Franklin Graham.

Still completely baffled why one didn’t tow the other to open waters before attempting a refueling evolution. But perhaps they did...obviously we don’t have all the details yet.

This is why they invented tow ropes.

The Bin Laden raid wouldn’t have happened if the Pakistanis hadn’t been harboring Bin Laden — and lying to us about it while accepting billions of dollars in military aid.

The damage could be exceptional on a fuel and ammo laden aircraft carrier. There is a widely held belief that the size of an aircraft carrier makes them immune to small weapon strikes, but that is very false. The presence of extraordinary amounts of ammunition and fuel necessary for aircraft operations does make these…

But they’re talking about LOWERING the standards. And mixed-gender combat teams have already proven to be significantly less effective than all-male ones. Facts are facts here; either we’re going to lower the standards in order to accommodate women, or we’re going to not have women in combat. It’s really that simple.
