That is the stupidest decision the Navy ever made!

*Pinging the Texas group* who will all be scratching their heads.

I wonder if it’ll even have guns on it! *spit*

Disgusting decision! The draining can’t come soon enough, and should have already happened, IMHO!

I would hope its unarmed without any guns.

Guns are bad.

Gabby used to like the military rifles.

Her husband bought one on the downlow just so he could after being exposed, turn it in brand new to a sheriffs office to keep everyone safer.
