Sean Spicer confuses Pearl Harbor anniversary with D-day

Did Spicer go and sit down and have dinner with em?

[chronicles]

Exactly.
I am sick of the slimy media.

[DannyTN]

It’s from SNL, back when they were making fun of Sean.

[BikerJoe]

Isn’t this the day the Germans bombed Pearl Bailey?

[MrRelevant]

Gee Biden confused Massachusetts for Georgia last week…. Any guardian stories about that

[Night Hides Not]

That’s harmless compared to my CO’s blunder during a battery level evaluation many years ago. He encoded mission coordinates for one of our Vulcan platoons, giving it a 10 KM route defense. Tough mission, considering Vulcans had a max effective range of 1KM.

Platoon Leader didn’t help, took it at face value. Almost blew the entire evaluation. We passed…barely. I didn’t make any friends with the platoon leaders…I was acting XO, spoon fed their orders for the next, and final day. The Chief Evaluator heard every word of mine while standing outside the CP.

His reaction? “That was beautiful, LT.”

Earned me a lousy performance review, CO was mad at me for saving his arse (I basically ran the battery for the final 24 hours), but it also got me kicked up to Battalion HQ…my first platoon sergeant was at HQ, NCOIC of S-3, Operations.

Spicer is the kind of officer who should never be put in command of troops. Keep him at a desk back in the rear.

Is there really a difference between Europe in Summer, and the Pacific in Winter?...

(technically Spring and Fall)

We weren’t even at war with Germany when the Japs hit us!

Shows you what a Harvard education is worth

Stay in school, kids.

Reminds me of when Bush, the elder, was giving a talk on September 7, and referred to it as Pearl Harbor Day.

[Rappini]

You would get tongue tied to if you sat next to Linsey Keith.

[Vaduz]

And a lot more of it with all the illegals from who knows where Biden let in.

I’m old enough to remember listening to FDR’s speech on the radio. Knowing what we faced, it was a bit different than 9/11. My father was drafted and released from active service after being injured in a rescue operation for a downed pilot.

[SaveFerris]

I was wondering - thought maybe it might be that

[jmacusa]

Wow. Pretty piss poor memory for a Navy man.

[jmacusa]

Indeed.
