In the battle off Samar in WWII, the tiny ships of Taffy 3 were attacked by Japanese destroyers, cruisers, and battleships including the largest ever built.

They did not surrender or even stand their ground. They attacked. Their attack was so vicious that the Japanese admiral thinking he was facing the main U.S. force turned around and retreated.

They sacrificed themselves, literally, as that was their job. They did not surrender to some second rate power.

LTC Peters got it right when he called Ophonybama a “total pussy.”

That phrase accurately, IMHO, characterizes the entire Ophonybama administration’s character, top to bottom!

Not calling for a coup.

Calling for Impeachment in the House of Representatives,
Conviction in the Senate and Imprisonment in the Super Max!

For Ophonybama and every one of his LIEberal thugs!

WE can only hope that Ophonybama and his LIEberal thug administration keep on pissing on America to the point that, even in an election year, we impeach, convict and imprison him and his LIEberal thugs!

I’m no expert on this matter, but I believe that the military GPS signals cannot be jammed.

Some kind of “Black Swan” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan_theory) event?

Could be. Look at what has happened since: Iran “met” the “requirements” as set out by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); the sanctions were lifted; US released $1.5 Billion tO Iran; five US hostages were suddenly let loose.

Was this a pre-arranged setup?

YOUBETYOURASS!

Obama doesn’t make any decisions like that without checking with foster mommy: President Jarrett—the Iranian muslim brotherhood plant gift that keeps on giving. That’s the US source of all of this entire iranian insanity. She calls the shots, or in this case, said hands up don’t shoot.

She illegally has SS protection, not authorized by any law. Assigned a detail to herself immediately upon boy barry’s immaculation. Kinda says it all.

What say you, Matt?

I’d wager that there were no SEALS or NERTS (What are NERTS?) on Farsi island.

We probably know everything there is to know about it — no need to send SEALS in.

Well, at least they all got out alive!

HST, you make a valid point — the pussification of America is in full view! LTC Peters got it right!
