Now this is arrogance.

Hasn't been a fatter, more tempting target since Pearl Harbor.

Precursor to handing America over to the Reds???

Could be set up for a false flag event.

Not nearly as bad as it looks. I spent 6 years on that waterline. 2 extra carriers thanks to the snafu caused by sequestration jacklegging everyone's schedules. 1 was supposed to be going in the yards, the other deploying.

I could reiterate explaining just what is actually being seen in this photo, but better to just link it.. http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/news_cut/archive/2013/02/the_truth_behind_the_aircraft.shtml

The Navy just refuses to learn these lessons. There have been articles about security matters in various journals for years, and most have been roundly ignored by the brass. Graduating from Canoe U apparently does things to your head.

Tora Tora Tora ! , these people never learn . Surely the tactical geniuses of the current administration would`nt 'stack em an pack em like that if there were any imminent threat ! .An interesting theory was mentioned on ' Savage Nation ' a couple days ago , that the two cruise ships were disabled by a Chinese EMP test run on a non threatening target .

This is the same old Squid who posted a little while ago questioning the sanity of the Navy brass. Sorry, I read the Minnesota Public Radio explanation and I ain't buying it.

It's stupid to line up the Navy's biggest and most vulnerable ships in a row like that. Yes, I said most vulnerable, because a carrier without its planes onboard and able to be launched has no defenses at all.

Once again, stuff like that has been written up repeatedly in the Naval Institute Press and other venues to my certain knowledge since 1981 without the sainted admirals paying it one bit of attention. One of my classmates published an article on this subject in 1983, and inattention to the points he made there made the USS Cole incident among others easier for the bad guys to pull off.

C'mon, people, get real. Debilitated as we are; reduced in force and capability as we are; who else in the world has the wherewithall to come after us much less take us on when we respond? The USofA is still the meanest SOB in the valley. Who's going to attack us? Who else has the capability to project force so far beyond their own borders? It isn't like back in the 1930s.

And can you imagine if somebody WAS crazy enough to attack us? Dear leader would have no choice but to take us to war. The people (or at least enough of them to have their way) would rise up in righteous wrath and IMPEL him to.

There's an old proverb that would seem to apply here "Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see." In the internet age I think half is far too much. Perhaps a 10th at most.

I think WarriorClass hit the nail on the head: a set up for a false flag event. My distrust of this administration is so deep, I see treason everywhere. I see a headlong dash for an Orwellian police state. The evidence supporting my view of a coming police state, has become so great, that locals cannot legitimately write me off as being a militant paranoid. Just a matter of time.

Minnesota Public Radio — like all public radio — is just another arm of the regime.

Bad cyborg,What military? The Army you remember from the 70s,80s, or 90s, is long gone, down sized to the same capability as Britton or Germany. The hevy mec. divisions are all setting in the DRMO or Depot storage. Most of the USAF is old and in need of replcement(the newest F-15/F-16s are 30 years old. No sir we are NOT the baddest kid on the block, In fact our militay has less power now than a single us army group did in 1945. The military and Nation you think we have is just a memory.
