All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

The operation lead to the seizure of cocaine with a UK street value of £81 million, according to the National Crime Agency.[13] Currently HMS Medway is in Hamilton, Bermuda.
It’s a nice looking boat.

Only thing more accurate than enemy artillery is friendly artillery.

Per Trump. Since the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 90's. Why are we, in the last 30 years, spending more on our military than the rest of the world combined?

THE BRAVEST DOG OF WORLD War I started his military career as a stray who wandered onto Yale Field, and became the mascot of the 102 Infantry 26th Yankee Division. Yet unlike most mascots, Stubby, a pit bull mix named for his short tail, went to war and experienced 17 major battles on the Western Front.

Following training with his division, the beloved dog was snuck onboard by his unit’s soldiers. After being discovered, Stubby won over the commanding officer by sitting and saluting with his paw at the command to “Present Arms.” He stayed with the soldiers for 18 months, once being hospitalized for mustard gas, another time being injured by a German grenade. He proved an invaluable compatriot as he could warn of mustard gas attacks, hear incoming missiles before the men, and find the living wounded in No Man’s Land. He even caught a German spy hiding in the bushes, for which he was promoted to Sergeant, the only dog to have such a position in the US Army at that time.

Because defense contractors have more pull on Congress than anybody or anything.

Look what Trump did his first year in office. Yuge defense spending. But at least he didn’t start any wars.
