    We’ve been fighting a proxy war for the Saudis since ‘91. It allows the shieks to play both sides of the fence. Hindsight being 20/20 we should have let Osama build an Arab coalition to kick Sadam out of Kuwait...

    I honestly think our government is crooked. War is great for defense contractors. What was Vietnam? Weapons of mass destruction? Let the middle east eat themselves. American blood shouldn't be spilled in the sand box. I see no good reason for it.

    Rabbitman almost joined the military back in the day. Some of the shit he says is how he thinks and some is to simply get a rise out of some. He is unique for sure but a good dude. I can promise yall he was not inferring that he doesnt support troops.

    And what does supporting the troops really mean? Clapping at Clemsons military appreciation celebration which is really a self praising ceremony? Jumping on the side of the military in all political arguements?

    If you truly find it important to support military; help a local family when dad or mom is deployed, get involved with organizations that support vets, take a young soldier hunting or fishing, send a care package.

    I agree the reasons for war since WWII on the surface often doesnt seem to be because of freedom is in jeopardy. However whenever a democratic elected president or Congressmember who directly represents the American citizen sends troops in harm's way... yeah those troops are directly fighting for YOU whether you agree with the reason.

    Oh I get the same labels too. Remember, Mergie has a list of all us BDLT etc for when the Q drops actually come to fruition. My name is at the top I'm sure.

    I just don't care. I have one man to which I answer and as far as I know he isn't on SCDucks. Although I'm sure he knows what everyone types on here despite their use of *** and allusions. I roll with the peace and confidence that my judgement doesn't come from those who find their value and worth in political opinions.

    My asteriks are a direct reflection of my aloofness, I've got voice to text to thank for them... I find it funny.

    My give a damn for the silliness typed on here has risen lately.. In the past I typically didn't internet when I'm grumpy.

    I don't think cotton/rabbitman is all crazy, he does say some wild ass shit though.. most of the time I think it's funny. Also I'm not a badwagooner, a pile on guy, or a follower, I find that as being tacky.

    U.S. Transportation Command begins large-scale sealift readiness exercise
    SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, IL, UNITED STATES

    U.S. Transportation Command

    U.S. Transportation Command began a large-scale sealift readiness exercise Sept. 16, as part of its Turbo Activation exercise series, ordering dozens of ships to sea.

    These exercises typically involve only a few ships but this event targets 28 vessels for activation to provide a better assessment of the readiness of U.S. sealift forces than can be accomplished with fewer activations. This scale will also stress the underlying support network involved in maintaining, manning and operating the nation’s ready sealift forces.

    Turbo Activation has, since 1994, served as a no-notice recurring exercise series, sponsored and monitored by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and USTRANSCOM. This is the fourth Turbo Activation exercise this year.

    This USTRANSCOM exercise rapidly activates a mix of U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command and U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration ships on the East, West, and Gulf Coasts.

    The exercise validates the readiness of selected ships and tests their ability to meet activation time standards and Department of Defense mission requirements. The activated ships are directed to transition from a reduced operating status to a fully crewed status, with the quarters made habitable and cargo gear ready, within five days. Activations are commonly followed immediately by a sea trial.

    MARAD maintains the Ready Reserve Force, which is a fleet of 46 militarily useful ships. This fleet, located throughout the country, is maintained in a reserve status in the event that the Department of Defense needs these ships to support the rapid, massive movement of military supplies and troops for a military exercise or large-scale conflict.

    The ships are managed by commercial companies and crewed by civilian merchant mariners. MSC, USTRANSCOM’s maritime component, in close coordination with MARAD, operates, supplies, and maintains the ships that provide logistics support, conduct special missions, move military equipment, supply combat forces, provide humanitarian relief, and strategically position combat cargo around the world.

    USTRANSCOM projects and sustains military power globally in order to assure our friends and allies, deter potential adversaries, and if necessary, respond to win decisively.

    For questions contact USTRANSCOM Public Affairs at transcom-pa@mail.mil.

    "Turbo Activation Exercise"

    Don't like the sound of that.
