Heavy seas tore four U.S. Army vessels from their moorings Saturday while they were trying to assist humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza.

Two vessels are beached along Israel’s coast near Ashkelon while the other two are anchored on the beach near the temporary pier built and put in place by the U.S. military, U.S.Central Command announced.

We’re marching HEAD-FIRST into World War 3 against China and Russia and we don’t even know how to tie-down our boats?

I’m not sure that the Neocons are thinking things through completely, as the idea is to go on a mad rampage around the world only AFTER getting one’s military ready, not before. At least that makes sense to me.

“Army doesn’t make good sailors, I guess.”

I don’t we have any good sailors left, as most were driven out by the weekly Drag Queen Parties they were forced to attend.

Beached is maybe better than sunk, but what a waste of 300+ million dollars (unless you are the contractor).

Sounds kind of kinky, perhaps it would work with our Woke military.

You beat me to it. The Mulberry harbor at Omaha Beach was damaged on June 19 and abandoned.

Goes to prove Army guys aren’t sailors. They should have stood offshore until the storm passed.
