The wife aboard the Lincoln "said her husband was in the water for an hour before he was rescued from what she described as a suicide attempt.”. There’s a bit of questions here. He treaded water for an hour before rescue. More importantly it took an hour to save someone from being overboard ?

I read he had a life jacket on but who knows. When I served we used two life jackets one the standard bulky orange one the other was the mark v which was salt water activated. We had separate colors for flight crews. They all come equipped with reflecting tape, dye markers a whistle and a light. I was on a rhib boat crew we trained for man overboard scenarios if it was at night the chances of finding someone is low. Daylight on a carrier 1 hour is pretty reasonable. As soon as man overboard is called the conning officer on the bridge would have the helmsman do a tear drop maneuver so they could get back to the nearest point of the man overboard. To assemble a boat crew and get in the water is dependent on each ship but we were always on alert for those situations.

Life is stressful during underways but I’m finding the conditions on the carrier to be a little overblown. Yes toilets get clogged because idiots throw paper towels down the drain or for a number of other reasons and sometimes if we hadn’t done an unrep or hit port in a while food rations would be a little less but we’re talking about a crew of 5000-7000 so it’s a small minority causing an uproar. Sailors are made for ships and ships are made for sea.

You're opposed to a dumb, expensive, and poorly-explained war initiated because Trump wants to do a solid for his buddy Bibi? You're practically a Schutzstaffel, Himmler.

I get a bit curious as to why @Procus spends a part of each day trying to prove to an Eagles message board that he is the stupidest MF'er on the planet.

I remember the whole run-up to the 2024 election, he kept shouting, "America first, but Israel first also." "Jared Kushner should have real estate projects in Gaza." "Gas should be more expensive." Seemed strange at the time, but clearly he knows what's up.

Don't mind the dimwitted MAGA from Florida with delusions of grandeur.

He's among the biggest morons here.

"If you don't agree with Netenyahu, it must be because you are anti semitic" is just as lazy and retarded as...well as everything else you post.

The last time a nuclear weapon was used was August 6th and 9th of 1945 on two cities in Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, immediately killing 110,000 people, vaporizing people at ground zero, and total deaths reached 214,000 by the end of the year from severe burns and trauma.

But the extreme suffering continued for the Japanese people from radiation sickness, skyrocketing cancer rates, and generational birth defects.

Not to mention wiping out all means of their economy.

And the suffering was so great that all of humanity vowed, "never again.”

Trump and his admin were told by our own intelligence that Iran was no where near creating a nuclear weapon, then Israel said the same line it’s repeated for decades, "Iran is only weeks away.”

So we bombed anyways, killed their leaders and innocent little children in a school, and Iran has controlled the Strait of Hormuz ever since and punished the region for their part in it.

And now our government is the one actually discussing lowering the nuclear threshold in order to use nuclear weapons against Iran even though Trump claims he’s won the war like 40 times and says the U.S. controls the SoH.

Trump promised no more foreign wars, but may actually be the one who delivers a nuclear holocaust that would likely drag the entire world into major conflict, economic depression, and mass human suffering we’ve never seen in our lifetimes and maybe throughout history.

People need to speak out and boldly stop this insanity.

America is not untouchable.

If and when that happens, everyone, and I do mean everyone, will hold ALL of those in leadership right now fully responsible for the rest of human history.

Do not use nuclear weapons and stop this war NOW.

In CVON, bigotry is perfectly acceptable if you are bigoted against the right persons.
