Being prepared for a conflict means keeping serviceable the old ships, especially carriers. Currently there are six oil fueled platforms in mothballs, but ready to spring to service if needed. Then Obama found them.
Since the start of 2014, the Obama Administration has been actually rushing these conventional-fueled ships to Brownsville, Texas, to be scrapped. Four of these ships, USS Forrestal (CV 59), USS Saratoga (CV 60), USS Ranger (CV 61), and USS Constellation (CV 64) have been towed to Brownsville, and a fifth, USS Independence (CV 62), is slated to join them.
That is bad enough, but a sixth carrier, USS Enterprise (CVN 65), was also slated for the scrap yard, and the Obama Administration has already begun that task, even as Russia and China have become more aggressive. How Obama guts the navy is on the next page:
Stop the liberals before they get us killed
Doesn’t anyone get it????Don’t they see that Obama is our worse enemy…selling us out to our enemies…stripping America of any protection she could have to save her??????
I just read an article that Obama has taken us down to half that 418 ships.
We have the best technology and weapons in the world and allied forces …but if the government doesn’t go and get us better leaders for our country that will make our military stong our nation is vulnerable to allthe bad that is brewing in the east..Stand with God and America.

He is trying to be sure that we lose the next war — with Iran – He and Iran want to take over America — make no mistake — he is the enemy —
Hey knucklehead. The Marine Corps is thinking about hitching rides for marines on foreign flag ships. Our Navy is at the lowest number of ships since WWI.
Dear God remove the Evil from America.
