Institutionalized Cowardice

We mentioned the feminization of the LAPD on V-E Day of this yr. As well as the oinkers coming in for their sissy drinks, various members of the military (probably from the Army Reserve or California National Guard armories located not too far from the same Starbucks™©) come in, in their digitally printed camouflage fatigues, & order sissy coffees & fruity eats. How are these wimps going to protect us from savage Moooslims who've swum thousands of miles across the Pacific, a knife between their teeth, in hope of raping just one of our precious AmeriKKKan goats? Obviously there is little hope left, if even the ground pounders have turned into latte-drinking sensitive types. We suppose they're all working on screenplays as well. Our last hope, to be defended by real men against the mostly imaginary terrorist enemy, has pretty much dried up w/ the recent announcement that even the U. S. Navy has given up & joined the psychotic Air Force weasels who murder from behind their video-game controllers.

The boats will be controlled by sailors at a safe distance on a much larger ship. [...] The first of the two boats, developed and stuffed with sonar-detection gear, cost $197 million. In the future, the price is slated to drop to $46 million per boat.

Whew, that's a relief. We were thinking this might be some kind of boondoggle.

The boats are meant to be launched by the so-called Littoral Combat Ships, shallow-draft ships that can maneuver close to shore.

Also known as Oil War Command & Control Ships.

"With the way the world is now, with terrorists just sitting around looking for new ideas to attack us, it's very important we have a way to protect our sailors as they transit through the shallow waters," said Thomas Mulkeen, one of the contractors working on the project, whose motto is "Detect, deter, defeat."

Perhaps not having "our sailors" in these shallow waters while they perform duties that Big Oil should be paying Blackwater to do would be the best way to "protect our sailors." And no fucking tax exemption for the oil outfits. They (& Europe & Japan, who get most of that Persian Gulf Oil) can pay for their own damn security for once. This former taxpayer will no longer be footing their bill.Above: This Unmanned (You ain't kiding!! Nothing manly at all going on here.) "Submarine" Hunter seems to work quite well in the shallow waters off San Diego. Hmmm.... Photo: Karen Tapia-Andersen/LAT.
