USS Stark, circa 1987, I think
Unlike the Cole, the Stark farqued up, got hit when it should have defended itself.
The Stark was viciously attacked by Sunni Iraq in the war against Shiite Iran. . We were spying on the Sunni Iraqis. Why are we off YEMEN? We have no business off YEMEN!! We are spying on the Iranians ( shiites) that we just paid $1.7 trillion for ransom and groveled as we witnesses our ill prepared sailors crying like woman after capture. God knows how much cash we paid then .
We are there to support the Saudis? The same Saudi regime that sponsored the attack by the hijackers on 911 on the WTC , the Pentagon and and Flight 93? The same sunni bastards that killed so many in San Bernadino, Fort Hood , and the gay bar in Orlando ( and so many others).
Let me simply ask you — WHAT THE F-— are we doing there?
Let’s not forget this little incident 50 years ago. 34 fellow sailors killed, 171 injured. Ship destroyed. This was Israeli planes knowingly attacking a US Ship in broad daylight.
