7 months? Obviously never been on a naval ship. Doing gator squares we could still be there in days.
USA sticking it's nose in where it doesn't belong year again. Let's take care of all the broken sh!t in this country and eradicate domestic terrorism before we start playing world police.
They will accidentally drift into enemy territory and be arrested. Lurch will apologize and beg for our ships to be returned. We will then evacuate with our tails between our legs leaving China to finalize their preparations for war unchallenged.
621 how cute!!
If something doesn't break out soon Obama will have to leave the White house. OH NO!!! (Snicker)
Wait what about global warming and less of a carbon foot print? Thinking these ships might burn a bit of fuel and waist!!
