View Full Version : Why is an aircraft carrier named after Bush?

I know this is old news, but seriously, why? The man has a brand new Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier, the finest warship ever constructed, named after him. He is obviously no military genius. Maybe if we ever need to deploy an aircraft carrier with no exit strategy, we'll send that one. We'll just say "fuck, we really want to kick some ass, but we're not up to figuring out what to do afterwords...fuck it, send the bush."
Geez, I'm just saying that of all the people, there had to have been someone a little more deserving.

We have carriers like the Dwight Eisenhower, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Ronald Reagan floating around. Yeah, let's throw George W Bush in there. Put that name next to George fucking Washington, it really fits in...assholes.

Yes. It's actually called the USS George H.W. Bush. Not sure what the H is for, though...

Just think of how much money the two of the Bushies have procured for our military. It's the least they could do outside of buying $700 screwdrivers from one of there buddies screwdriver factory's.

Regardless if you like GWB or not, he was voted Pres twice by America. The only reason he was voted in the second time was because the person running against him was a pussy.
I don't like Bush, but the Middle East is a fucking crazy place. You should know this better than most here, ath. ATM Iran is trying to muscle their power into Iraq. They have been drooling for the day that we make our troops leave, so they can take control. Vietnam much? Let's face it...America is shit on the ground...know why? Cuz you, and everyone else play by rules when dealing with ruthless killers.
This is a war of faith, and I'm sure you believe in your simple minded religion that Jesus is this or that, but would you give your life for your God (God not Jesus)? How strong is your faith? And plz don't give me the I fought in Iraq speech. You signed up to fight, and/or die. That was your job...to be a killer, or be killed. Sounded like a good way to be somebody later didn't it? Oh this will give me training in the field I wish to make a career in. Bottom line is, your job is pushing meat shields at people, and hopefully you live through the battle. Notice how very few people stay in the military after their time is up? Wonder why? Cuz people think it's an easy way to get somewhere.
People in America LOVE to act as if their Christian faith means something, as long as they get to go to their support group sunday meetings. Christians and Muslims have been killing each other for ages, and guess who actually has more faith in what they believe?

Nothing wrong with joining the military to be a better person, as long as you're willing to put your life on the line for that ideal and honestly want to serve at the same time. It's those kinds of people that will cover you when the shit hits the fan.
As for people not staying in the military...well I guess I can't speak for the other branches, I can only give you my experience and the attitude I actually saw from other people...The sentiments I and other people shared was that we just didn't want to stick to the Marine lifestyle for our careers. I faithfully accepted that lifestyle for four years and have no regrets about it. I still did what was asked and what was expected of me.
If you want to talk about an easy way to get somewhere, the military allows you to retire after 20 years of service, you're provided all your amenities, and they can't fire you unless you break the law. Theoretically, you can get a pension as early as age 37. Maybe that's not an easy way, but if the lifestyle really is for you, then it's a smart thing to stay in. You can't just get an easy job after you get out, either. Believe it or not, you still have to convince employers that you're the right person for the job, and not just rest on the laurels of your uniform.

We have phones in the street here but they only accept pre paid phone cards or credit cards, ( apparently , these phones are the best way for a pick pocket, thief, mugger etc to check before using your credit card if itīs still valid or been reported stolen and shut, avoiding any confrontation ).

pension ...whatever you can't get a job in the civilian world, simply because management does not what to de-brainwash you. You are not in the military now cuz why? Cuz this shit is BS, and the only reason you signed up in the first place was because you thought it would help your little career in the future. All of you numbskulls that manage to live thought that you would be fucking bitches in Australia, or Japan, partying every night? What did your "Military Education" give you? Nothing. Just like it does for everyone. LOL I've trained newbs like you that thought they were something...just cuz the got outa the fuckin Marines. I have also seen weak ass fucks quit cuz they couldn't handle the stress.

All of you numbskulls that manage to live thought that you would be fucking bitches in Australia, or Japan, partying every night?
Yeah, I didn't serve more than four years because I wasn't fucking bitches in Australia and Japan and because it didn't get me a yacht and caviar. You hit the nail on the head with that one.
What did your "Military Education" give you? Nothing. Just like it does for everyone. LOL I've trained newbs like you that thought they were something...just cuz the got outa the fuckin Marines. I have also seen weak ass fucks quit cuz they couldn't handle the stress.
It just gave me job experience...you know the kind you put on your resume. I don't care who you trained or whatever. Some people aren't cut out for different jobs. You can find a badass motherfucker who can't handle the stress of being in a corporate office. Likewise, you can find your corporate guy not able to handle the stress of being a prison guard. I already know my personality isn't suited to be a prison guard. I have no problem putting my life in war, though. Your little spiel proves nothing.

I was sent there, but I volunteered myself to be put in a situation to be sent there. I have to agree that through my service, I'd have to go anywhere they want in the first place. I'm not downplaying the role of a Correctional Officer, either, but you can kind of say the same thing that your job puts you in those positions. You signed up for the job to begin with though, so I don't understand why you're trying to downplay the control I had over if I was sent to war or not. I couldn't be a correctional officer, nor would I want to be. I'm just not cut out for that kind of thing. Everyone has their own jobs which they are perfect for and which they would suck at.
As for my resume, I was in communications platoon, so I'm guessing my experience from communications platoon could be put on a resume.
