Great, now our hospital ships can be considered fair game in war.

So will we count expended rounds as ammo on hand? After all we will still have the empty cases, and will we count any wounded on those hospital ships as combat ready troops? This clown has all of two years navy service and he is charge? It’s this kind of bean counter in the Kennedy administration that was responsible for so many of our soldiers deaths!

They forgot to add tugs,LCU’s, and Mike boats(ships), this is the way government works. If the numbers look bad change the way things are counted, they do this in every nook and cranny of government. This is a contributing factor to the general distrust of national government.

They can count all the lifeboats and rafts on board...

I wish they were counted as exempt from Obamacare. I’d buy a few, and park them off the coast.

Typical Democrat debate strategy.
Change the definition of a thing so that it confuses the voter when it is debated in the media or in campaign literature and the press.
That was the entire reason behind baseline budgeting in my opinion and the strategy has worked wonders for the Democrat ever since.

This ain’t fooling our enemies. They can count, unlike our idiot jackasses in the D.C. crop circle.
To: Nachum
In dumBO’s Navy, row boats will count, and, jOkeass will claim the largest fleet in history.

Something dangerously wrong here - but I'm sure you knew that. Aside from the consideration that it will shrink our fleet, how can you expect any quarter to be given to a Hospital Ship when it is designated as a Combat Ship by its Command?
Girding myself and preparing for Battle!

The administration can claim the hospital ships in the number of combat ships in order to state the number of ships have not been dropped.
The chinese/russians/norks/iranians can claim Obama called them combat ships so we were okay to fire missiles on them...
Correct.
