Thanks for sending me this website/info Joe! Keep'em coming....
Makes you wonder what's going on with the US Navy, US Marine Corps and US Coast Guard doesn't it? I don't mean to belittle our history.
Its as precious to me as it is to any American that pumps blood colored red, white, blue and Marine green.
What has me curious is who's picking up the bill on this?
Would we have been better served by cancelling these celebrations and preserving an active Marine Infantry Battalion or two instead?
Or how about we keep a couple of Cruisers instead?
Or buy the Coast Guard a few more Cutters?
Regardless...the site is here and the vid is below...
thats what i wonder too, i would have no problems in the sea services celebrating it if they got private funding to pay for it, i can see the military doing some organization stuff, providing some people maybe but putting so much into it while we have men and women still fighting and dying over seas, time for us to look at our priorities.
ReplyDeleteWhy celebrate a war that was convincing lost ?
ReplyDeletewell for the sea services, it can be said that they won their battles...just the Army lost its share which cost us the war.
ReplyDeleteflimsy but its all i can figure.
