This is just ridiculous

by Philly Homer 2009-03-20, 20:31

Absurd

I am wondering how the %$#! they managed to do this. We could have been better than those Europeans in at least one regard, but no, some idiot just had to go and crash into a freaking SURFACE ship. Why the hell do I live in this lovely country? *Facepalms*

Well, at least we know who's not getting a promotion to admiral now. You would think they would try to be more careful, considering they're carrying, uh, weapons of mass destruction?

by **Thingy** 2009-03-20, 20:43

Wow...just.... wow....

A submarine crashed with a SURFACE ship from your own FLEET? that's just... dumbness beyond words. Man i'm glad i'm a european...

by Earthdeath 2009-03-20, 21:01

Even..i mean...WTF!
Only the US navy....
They are making history right now.CRAP history.

Note: how come didnt hear about his earlier scratch

by Philly Homer 2009-03-20, 21:03

Cause it happened like... today. I can see what you guys are going to be laughing and joking about at the office tomorrow. Seriously, we can't make fun of the Europeans anymore, cause we crashed a nuclear sub with a surface ship, not another sub.

...what?

by Earthdeath 2009-03-20, 21:06

lol.DW isnt around is he?

I cant wait till everyone finds out, its going to be hilarious.
And to think we only just stopped mocking the french returning to NATO.

by Philly Homer 2009-03-20, 21:06

Yes, everything bad is Canada's fault. You should blame them for the global economic crisis as well.

I'm just amazed at how many of these can happen in such a wide area. One happened in the freaking Atlantic Ocean and the other, though a much more confined area, is still pretty much inexcusable.

by me naam is m 2009-03-20, 21:13

i know several USA military officers myself.

i have to admit, my first impression wasn't astounding.

technically, they never left

by Earthdeath 2009-03-20, 21:16

They did, exiled themselves for some weird reason.
as for the US officers..
Ignorant, self centered dumbarses?

by Philly Homer 2009-03-20, 21:22

Well, it's just idiots like these that degrade the quality of our military. Are we not supposed to be the most feared military force on the planet? With people like this, we're being laughed at.

by Earthdeath 2009-03-20, 21:24

yeah, I'm afraid the US is no longer feared because, like you said, your officers seem to be all dipshits.

incorrect. they never did. they just pulled back military support.

just for thinking that alone, they're laughed at. not even talking about their high level of ducktape content

by Earthdeath 2009-03-20, 21:33

yeah, your right on the military support..
wish they didnt return, as i don't want to call NATO's army 100,000 frenchman with their hands in the air..

by **Destral** 2009-03-20, 22:09

Wow...well-titled, Alka. this just goes to prove that the military is just a ghost of what it once was in the old days.

America's amry has ALWAYS been made of phail. from the very beginning on.

by **Destral** 2009-03-20, 22:25

true...but Alka's right. We're supposed to be the most feared militia in the world. we're a superpower! we should be acting like one!

Don't look down on us just because of Iraq. You wouldn't be saying this if we were still in the Cold War.

Currently i'm too lazy to drag every single war america has been in. try to get more from me tomorrow.

by Philly Homer 2009-03-20, 23:31

War happens because of politics, not the military (most of the time.)

Think War of 1812. Landslide victory for America, there.

11 small floating citys with their own airports and nuclear arsenals, several stealth bombers capable of turning over 20 citys into dust in one flying run without even being detected, a few million soldiers when fully mobilised and all of europe behind it. That's what i call terrifying. well, except the fact that the french are on their side... i dont think you can destroy a tank using a wine bottle and some cheese... unless you're mcgyver or captain kirk

You'd be typing in german and shouting ''heil hitler!'' every 10 minutes so that camera the reich has put in the wall wont gas you if it wasnt for them in WW2. But they're kind of starting to get sucky, i mean, ever seen their friendly fire numbers?

indeed they're... Good that iy wasn't other aircraft carrier or it would be much worse (for the sub)... those a.sh.oles never learn...

by Galaxy-Scarface 2009-03-21, 10:16

wow. i heard about this, but i didnt know that it was a submarine. i thought it was 2 surface ships.

by Philly Homer 2009-03-21, 10:32

Even more excessive phail if it was two surface ships. In this case itself, if the sonar was defective or something on both ships, it's still pretty much inexcusable but slightly understandable. If you have a visual both ways, then I'd demand that both be tried and executed for excessive stupidity.

by me naam is m 2009-03-21, 10:36

the active sonar of the submarine was probably turned off just like in a war situation. they should trial the guy who was watching the passive sonar for not paying attention though.

by Philly Homer 2009-03-21, 10:59

The commanders of both ships will probably be kicked out of the military. Good riddance, really.

No. They kept sending military all over the place (thankfully only in small numbers) but left the command structure. So officers from other countries were commanding french troops.

well, what can I say? maybe HWHAHWAH!! Jolly good gaffe![/posh accent]

quite the opposite. military representation never left the NATO bases. it's just the troops they pulled back, and no NATO bases etc in france.

how do I know? well, that's what you get after hanging around at NATO people all the time!

by **Thingy** 2009-03-21, 15:02

Yeah, i bet they'll be crying for help from us...well, you...(our government is too much a bunch of pus*** to join NATO, they want to be neutral, but the problem is that our military is pretty much 10 guys with big sticks thanks to our ''incredibly generous funding'') if the russians go mad again. I heard they're going to renew their nuclear arsenal and upgrade their army. good friggin job bush, you just had to build that missile shield around them for no friggin reason did you?

no seriously, I'm the only one with the right to insult this horribly poliitically correct, opinionated, lazy country

That's why you have America around. We keep you from becoming too much like Europe, politically.

by Earthdeath 2009-03-22, 19:45

by **Darkwing** 2009-03-22, 20:08

no, i was making sure my new button works, that's all, but i imagine it will be useful someday

by Earthdeath 2009-03-22, 20:11
