The amphibious assault ship USS America, the first in her class, was, this Spring, on patrol in the Pacific with a full deck of Marine airpower, including F-35Bs, and a hull full of Marines and their gear. One thing that caught our eye in recent photos of the ship at sea is the massive flag she is flying above her island superstructure—one that depicts the symbol on Captain America's iconic shield.
The crew takes special pride in manning the ship that carries its country's name. With a little help from Captain America's iconography, that pride and exceptionalism are taken to a whole new level.
A “strike carrier”, which is what the Marines call a flat top assault ship when it has an F-35 wing deployed, has more firepower than a fleet carrier such as the Chinese, Russians, Indians, French, etc currently have.
ReplyDeleteNow you've done it. Expect a push to discipline the CO of USS America for fostering exceptional and colonialism and failing to support the hammer and sickle. He was doubtless thinking that flying that flag while offshore was safe.
ReplyDeletePity the jackboot actor portraying Capt America in the movies is such a leftwing asshat.
ReplyDeleteSwing a dead cat in Hollyweird, hit a Leftist. Kinda hard to avoid them. Easy to avoid movies though!
DeleteThe whole country has turned into one big comic book.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind a cool in its own way.
