This odd looking ship is in port right now and will head to Norfolk to
show the US Navy how to operate.

How to operate what.....................the surrender flag? Sorry, our
military does not stock any of those.

Yeah, right. Do the names of Korea, Vietnam, Bieruit, Somalia and soon
to be Iraq ring any bells. Granted the politicians ordered the
surrenders in all of these cases, but just the same.....


Note the key words *our military* Dave. ;-)


"Our military" has surrendered the flag in many battles. You really do
need to read some history.
