4,000 sailors on a flattop with their nemesis striking from below. And
I hope I’m wrong about that.

posturing from this thirteen year old.
So emotionally immature and insecure in his

Hegseth will spout this Christian Nationalist horseshit for as long as he wants. He'll say the same thing after we strangle Cuba into submission.
