Sorry I don’t understand something here.
A floating Walmart rammed, and very nearly sunk, a fully armed and capable Navy Destroyer?
How is this shiite allowed to happen?
Don’t just sit there, Blow it out of the water.
more probing the lines . . .
I’d be more content with them firing on and sinking the cargo ship for bearing down in it.

Yeah, that thing is probably the size of 2 or 3 Wal*Mart buildings. Tragic.
I don;t understand it either. A United States Naval warship collides with a container ship. It didn’t see this thing on radar? WTF?
No different than my experience in the Army in Pleiku in 66-67 and the experience of many others. We'd be put on perimeter watch with rifles but no bullets because we never had training in anything except how to clean the rifle. We'd be given telephones that did not work (reliably) or walkie talkies with bad batteries. The perimeter spotlights would be shining toward us, into our eyes as often as shining outward where there might be an intruder.
That Pleiku did not have an incident was pure luck.
The idiocy of government employees in Vietnam is one reason I concluded government does not work... big government (550,000 in Vietnam) works even less.
With what?
