I was in SAC when I was 18 yrs old.
I would have happily and actually did work to make sure
we could kill every Commie on Earth.
I’m a little older now and realize that the real enemy is a government un-checked.
Our Government, Russian,Chinese, N Korean, et al, are the enemy.
I’m glad I’m not 18 anymore.
Russia and China have “super EMPs” for which we supposedly do not have protection against.
Burn, baby, burn!
Russia for sure would certainly be in major violation of treaty if that were the case, but I wouldn’t put it past those slimebags.
The tugboat looks suspicious, too. I can’t quite put my finger on it, though.
Oh, very nice!
There’s no such thing as a ‘super EMP’ that I’ve ever heard of. There’s high yield hydrogen bombs you can set off at high altitude, but I don’t think the EMP situation has changed much since the early 70s. If you have other info, please share.
Everyone that uses the EMP fear porn evidently assumes the US wouldn’t retaliate in kind? Seriously?
You’ve never seen OPLANS.
I took some heat a while back on this forum, when I saw a picture of a Arleigh Burke class that had been deployed for some time as it came home, and that thing had orange rust all over it and I commented negatively. A Freeper took issue with that and implied I had no idea what I was talking about.
Maybe.
I grew up on Navy bases during the Vietnam era, and served a tour myself in the Seventies, and I never saw active US Navy ships that looked like that one.
I understand they do things differently now-the crew doesn’t do corrosion control, or so I am told, and they hire civilian laborers top do it for them when they pull into port.
I know they are overburdened and have long deployments, but to my eyes, that was disgraceful. It reeked of poor morale.
LOL No kidding. That sea looks smooth as glass. “Sunk in rough seas while under tow” my butt!
Also if EMPs were such an unstoppable thing, why did both the USA and USSR/Russia have/had ABMs that had low-very high yield and high altitude warheads to defend against incoming attacks? AFAIK the Russians still have theirs at Moscow but they’re upgrading.

Kimdotcom is a known lunatic and almost all the replies are laughing at him. Might look for a better source.
An old navy guy told me -“There are two kinds of ships - Submarines and Targets”
Post 73
Really? Is it because of the tractor which is towing the ship?
That image is clearly a meme.
Next you'll probably repute a Floride rant.
10-4. Thx for the lead.
