@EthanLevins2@TechieChickTT You are confusing some of the details. Go back and listen again to Massie’s speech.
A torpedo took out 25 men in an instant. The other 9 were killed by a combination of Napalm and machine gun fire. After Napalm was used, they gunned down the firefighters on the ship.
@ImBreckWorsham Once a country has them, unless they are voluntarily given up; there is not a damn thing that can be done to rid them of the nukes. It is fear of being attacked with the nukes that allows that shithole country to keep their nukes.
@OwenShroyer1776 If that is your qualifier for combat readiness, I am ready for sure. I was a SIGINT analyst, combat was not a part of my daily life. Our austere environment was the absurdly cold temperatures of a SCIF.
@SqSehrish 1 daughter, 11 sons, and 1 man that makes 13 definitively.
Mother(s) is the only question that needs to be answered to be certain of the count.
If only 1 mom, it would be 14.
59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.
Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.
@Handsomeskoll@EthanLevins2 That is my point entirely. They hold the same stick, we hold. You went further in depth, but it is literally the same point.
