Visualizing a mushroom cloud rising over Mecca calms my nerves.

Mecca turning green and glowing in the dark.

I think they mean to retaliate and come at us bolder and harsher if they can.

Only armed ships can prevent this.

The Navy can’t be everywhere at once. We need to attack this problem at the source. Time to blow up some camps.

“I actually think that Zero will do it...just to win you and me over to his side.....”

I don’t think he will do it and it wouldn’t win me over to his side anyway. There’s that pesky little issue of bankrupting the country that gets in the way.

Easily solved if the people who work on the boats would just say “I ain’t gettin on without a gun.”

Politicos and Company management and UN be damned.

It’s the sailors butts that are on the line here.

Perhaps we should start doing like we did in WWII. Convoys with destroyer escorts around the Horn of Africa.
