Navy explores longer sub deployments - Navy News News from Afghanistan & Iraq - Navy Times

How about spending more to build more subs?

When we were building 688 boats, we were building up to 3 per year.

This one per year, and now even two per year is only slowing the decline, not stopping it.

Christian Pastor faces execution for simply being a Christian in Iran - this is outrageous

Folks - thanks for coming to Wharf Rats place.

Please understand this - if we stand by and let this happen, we are cowards.

If we continue to let Iran be a bad actor in world affairs, then we are cowards.

I'm tired of this country, that has definitely caused US deaths in Iraq due to supplying weapons to bad guys in Iraq. I'm tired of no one standing up to these fruitcakes.

It is time.
