“I wonder how much of an overlap there will be with all three carriers in the Gulf.”
It appears the “Ike” set to sea around Oct 21st of last year. So it’s only been out for about 5.5 mos. I do believe normal carrier ops run 9 to 12 months. So there will be some overlap. Three U.S. carriers and one French in the area around the gulf in the next two weeks? What about the British? I wonder if they are deploying any extra ships? Invincible? Do they still have carriers?

I agree we can, if we want, put an end to the insurgency and civil war in a matter of days.

No. It was a regular rotation as far as I know.

I do believe that there’s an exception in the law for such that.

So then there are exceptions for very large American flags displayed as you see them on the deck of the carrier, and at football games, etc.

I remember being taught flag etiquette in elementary school. Bet they're not teaching it now. BTW, I'm 63, so you can tell how long ago that was.

No, I don’t think so. I’ve never seen one. Are you aware of any such?

I doubt it. However, should your son/grandson/whatever sign up for the Boy Scouts, he’ll get taught it as one of the first requirements he needs to pass.

"My former son in law Josh headed out today for his fourth tour. Godspeed, son."
You know every FReeepr who "knows the deal" will be praying for him and every other sailor and Marine serving on these floating testaments to American skill, craftmenship, and ingenuity, as they sail into harm's way.
I support every division of the US armed forces, but Navy carrier ops are just ... SUPER cool. 90,000 tons of sovereign US territory that goes wherever the hell it wants.

"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage.

Anything that we can do to give Ahmadinejad a sleepless night is fine by me. If that means we worry him, OK. If it means that he can’t sleep because of loud noises then that is OK too.

Prayers up for Josh. May God keep him safe.
