"It is not true that the American Navy was formed to fight muslims."

I didn't say that. I said

"The bottom line is that the American Navy & Marine Corps were formed to fight enemies of America who were at that time Muslims. Fast forward 230 years and we are still fighting the Muslims."


Try not to misquote me in the future.

That is STILL not true. Our navy's history was as I outlined it earlier. The Pirates were an afterthought not the motivating factor. Our MAIN concern were the HUNDREDS of ships and cargos seized by the French and British not the far fewer numbers seized by the Muslims some of whom were working with the main culprits.

They were a nuisance not a strategic threat as were Paris and London.
