This has to be a joke..
QuoteThe Wyoming House of Representatives advanced the legislation on Monday, but eliminated language calling for plans to implement its own military draft, army and acquire an aircraft carrier.
:lmfao:
:lol:
QuoteThings happen quickly sometimes — look at Libya, look at Egypt, look at those situations," the bill's GOP sponsor State Rep. David Miller told the Star-Tribune in Casper.
So he likens the state government of Wyoming to the regimes of Gaddafi and Mubarak? :lol:

Duh, no. He says the USA has a government like that.
At least the local football team will finally go undefeated.
They'll obviously need that carrier after their armies have finished conquering Idaho and Oregon and they want to expand north/south along the coast there. :sleep:
Oregon's mountain men and loggers will kick the shit out of those panty waste prairie folk.
Though I guess there are some small hills in Wyoming.
We will not stand for Wyoming's aggressive military buildup. I have no doubt that Arkansas' submarine will sink Wyoming's carrier.

Wyoming is obviously planning for when the western half of the country sinks into the Pacific after the Big One hits and Laramie becomes a coastal metropolis.

Her Majesty's Albertan Submarine "Jaron Paleologus"
I guess the legislators have many relatives in need of hack jobs and found the perfect way to create them.
And the fucking legislature kills off this needed bill. What will Wyoming do for an army now? Even before the vote they killed off the Wyoming Navy. The armed forces are needed to fight off the hippie hordes.
I fear invasion.

Texas 'navy' to patrol the Rio Grande
Texas is getting its own navy.
Next month, the state's Department of Public Safety will deploy the first of a fleet of six gunboats on the Rio Grande, the river that forms the border between the state and Mexico, CNN affiliate WFAA-TV reports.
The 34-foot-long boats, each powered by three, 300-horsepower outboard engines, will have bulletproof plating and six machine guns apiece, not unlike the river patrol boats the U.S. Navy used during the Vietnam War.
The vessels will be able to operate in as little as 2 feet of water, according to the report, and will work with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to combat drug smuggling coming across the Rio Grande.
"They're finding out when those people are coming across, and one of the things they need to be able to do is interdict them on the water," Texas state Rep. Paul Workman told CNN affiliate KVUE-TV when the first of the boats, the JD Davis, was christened in December.
"If you're trying to suppress organized smuggling activity, there's no substitute for putting people on the ground," Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven C. McCraw said at the December ceremony. "The way they're operating right now, you need them on the water as well."
"It sends a message: Don't mess with Texas," Jose Rodriguez, a regional commander of the Texas Department of Safety, told WFAA.
The six boats will be named after Texas state troopers killed in the line of duty. The first was named after Jerry Don Davis, who was shot and killed in 1980. Another, to be commissioned Thursday in Austin, will be named in honor of trooper David Irvine Rucker, who was killed in 1981, according to The Brownsville Herald.

The flagship is going to need a lot of fixing up though.
I support all the efforts of the Department for Salut Public to root out traitors whether on land or sea.
Next step is to patrol the Red River with these babies.

I've only seen the commercial, but my favorite is the dude in the oxygen mask (or whatever that is that firefighters use) who is apparently prepping for the supervolcano.
Also, it took me a while to put it all together but a Facebook friend I graduated high school with is definitely a prepper.

Curiosity piqued, what were the clues?
Massachusetts is all set for the looming naval war in Mid America! We have the Battleship Massachusetts, some cruisers, destroyers and other ships. Plus we have the USS Constitution "Old Ironsides" still commissioned!

Cool! :cool: Constitution and Constellation - would love to see them sail together again! :) I wonder if during any ceremonies/holidays, the two ships have sailed together? Probably not, as I doubt if each ship sails more than their immediate harbors. I'm thinking Constitution went to NYC some years back, for a July 4th or something, but I doubt they'd sail it that far, even if under tow.

That's something to look into; if they ever did, it would've been for the July 4th celebration for the Statue of Liberty back in '86.
They just finished a year-long refit of the Constellation, she looks gorgeous now.
For some reason I think it's totally badass that there are Mexican pirates on the Rio Grande.
shiver me timbers, esse

River patrols?
Somebody is asking for a nasty ambush.
River ambushes are the worst kind, especially when you are the guy in the water.

I don't think they ever sailed together.
Constellation was built in 1854, after
Constitution had left active service (though she was a training vessel at Annapolis in the 1850s, so it is remotely possible they were underway at the same time in the same area; however, the
Constellation was in the Med most of that time).

And I am betting they tried to make her look more like the original USS
Constellation than 1797 Connie herself looked! :lol:
It always amuses me that Baltimore keeps trying to pretend that theirs is the first Connie, not the second.
"So maybe she
is 10% longer now; ships grow longer over time... yeah, that's the ticket!"
