In honor of the Navy
My flag pole is maxed out today.

Sir, a special thanks from a Navy guy hiding out on this especially august site of the world's best fighting individuals. Does a old sailor good to see the Jack flying with our flag. But, re: the events of the last couple of days, let there be no doubt in anyones mind or heart that JSOC and the men/women who planned and executed those events were cultured in a true and dedicated fellowship. The flag on top is all we need to remember.
God bless them all.

As a martyr, Bin Laden wanted 73 virgins, but the Navy thought he wanted 73 sturgeons.

A smart man would copyright that phrase, print out tee-shirts with that phrase on them and sell them outside of Navy bases, Navy recruiters' office, etc.
Ah, it has probably already been done.

Well done to those in the arena.
UBL wanted 72 virgins,
Team-6 thought he said 72 sturgeons
The last thing he saw was 25 Virginians
And he ain't gonna count no more...
If having wherewithal I'd make up a CONEX full & proceeds go to SOWF.
Without objections, I'll contact someone in the biz & see if they're amenable to exercising some good ol' capitalist initiative in that direction.
