About 99.99% sure every single one of our submarines are "NUCLEAR"-powered, but damned if they didn't get me to click on it by throwing the word in there, I am 100% sure if one of the crew told someone they were deploying to the Med that they would be thrown in the brig, but the powers that be can tell everyone. I hate double standards.

There is always, and I mean always, a carrier group and a MEU "deployed" to the gulf.

Nothing new at all.

OK, call me a slow-learner, but, this is the slap upside my head that made me realize that "The News" doesn't really care about "The News". They care not about being trustworthy and accurate, they care about being 1st.

Anytime I hear "...and now a Channel 4 exclusive..." I turn the channel because I know they're trying to make news out of nothing.

When the Big Three and Tucker make a mistake they admit it immediately in their monologues. Of fucking course everyone wants to be #1. You have to be able to determine shit from shinola and local news uses shinola like a mushroom uses a log.

Seen firsthand a soldier get an article 15 for telling someone we were deploying 30 minutes down the autobahn to help an aviation unit rail load their equipment to head to Iraq because rail load was not what they usually did, and we did it all the time. I have NEVER seen a news story telling the world where we were parking a submarine. EVER.
