Interesting.
Is trash dumped at sea weighted down? Has GreenPeace approved DoD waste policies?

Prayers for our men and women are daily standing orders around here.

Um, having personally done some "experimentation" regarding both combustion and explosion which involved various trash recepticles during my days of wild youth, I would tend to concur! ;)

Remember the 101st Airborne? Muslims come in all shapes, sizes, and colors (I've seen a lot more white Muslims in my area than black). The 101st Airborne didn't see it coming, and I doubt anyone on that ship did either...if this is a terror attack.
My brother did some experiments with trash himself when he was younger. I can think of some things that would cause some "problems" if not disposed of correctly.

Looks like it is time to check out the crew!

Thanks, Ernest. I saw a piece on Fox...looks like some kind of accident...hopefully no one was killed or seriously injured. Such is the life of a Marine. Never a dull moment.

The explosion occurred in a trash receptacle in Marine berthing, piercing a bulkhead and injuring personnel in the adjacent compartment.Since the bulkheads on ships are steel, this was quite an explosion. A hand grenade wouldn't do it. Another al-Queda sympathizer?

...trash receptacles don't explode on their own...
Let's hope there are no mail boxes on that ship.
To: Blood of Tyrants
Doesn't this sound like the situation on the USS Cole? Or, at the very least, a purposeful act?

Not really. The bulkhead was an interior wall. This means it was a sailor or Marine who did it.

some muslims serve in the service...

Training accidents and deaths probably exceed the deaths during Iraqi Freedom.

"Please tell me we didn't outsource trash pickup on naval ships to locals. Get ready to investigate the Muslims on board. Let me tell you something. The first thing those dang swabies do when a group of Marines come aboard is to have us clean the damn ship for them. The Marines, travling on a Navy ship are the trash pick up crew!

An inside job like in the camp in Kuwait? Scary. Didn't Farrakan call for the Nation of Islam to actively resist the war in Iraq?

It would amost have to be an inside job. Trash cans don't just explode.
