Did you get a ride from us? My last ship LHA-4 went down there to pick up a bunch of engineer types, SEABEEs and some Army. I had not enough shots to go ashore, didn't see anything from anchorage that made me want to go either.
Nah, we took the Army boats over. Supposed to deliver humanitarian supplies, ended in a shitshow that had my HMMWV cursed with a chicken sacrifice.
Used to be that the US would deploy troops in order to keep socialism from taking root, now it seems likely the opposite is true . . .
And how'd those deployments work out for us? Communism is the collective form of heroin: Doesn't matter how much outside help there is, until the addict wants to quit, they won't.
