The US is a nation which use to believe in true freedom. Because of globalism we are fast becoming a third world nation. Thanks to the leftist liberal politicians, and egocentric corporate executive officers.

Not to be a downer, because that was a GREAT tribute, but let's not forget who did this to Her, and why!

Lucky sailors, and nice of the higher brass to let them have a port call of a lifetime.

I'm a little embarrassed by the open view of weapons, it's insulting for one. It's not as if Sweden is Yemen, a cultural light year away. Second, it reminds me of the cultural mental inflexibility of the US. In the Navy's previous case of
‘repelling boarders’ with fire hoses. Post Cole and commons sense kind of finished off that PC idiocy. But adapting guard protocols would require flexibility, thinking, and responsibility, something bureaucracies mostly punish and fail to reward, by and large, over time with the usual result.

I think the notion of freedom has been long around even before the Greeks. It is human nature not to be in slavery to another, at your cost, and their benefit.

The US is not, and has not ever been a truly ‘free’ nation. Almost all laws are laws of restriction of action. Every year there are more laws, which make what last year you were free to do, illegal. Next year there will be more laws making what you could do this year illegal.

Anyways, thanks for the nice sentiments.

Excellent, thanks. The USS Cole was built and repaired not 20 miles from my home.
