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

developed hydralic problems..

| Be careful, we don't want to see the breakup of the Hazeltones. Y'all be
nice to each other. |

| Well, U.S. forces may not carry "official issue" white flags in their
rucksacks, but U.S. forces certainly have surrendered. As just one
example, consider the outcome of theBattle of the Philippines in 1941-42. |

| I am sure there are other examples with specific battles. But that has
nothing to do with my original point. |

| So they can't seem to operate aircraft, but have a handle on naval
operations? Uh-huh. By the way, the word is "hydraulic". Eh. <grin> |

| Somehow the words French and Fighters don't seem to belong in the same

| 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..... |

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