Task & Purpose: Pentagon Masses Troops, Equipment, And Ships For Hurricane Florence Response
The U.S. military has “quite literally surrounded” the East Coast states that Hurricane Florence is expected to hit with personnel and equipment, which are poised to swoop in to help people in need, said Air Force Gen. Terrence O’Shaughnessy, head of U.S. Northern Command.
A total of 7,000 U.S. troops have tasked with taking part in relief efforts, of which about 3,000 are active-duty service members, O’Shaughnessy told reporters on Thursday. Thousands of other troops from all military branches have been ordered to prepare to deploy if needed.
Florence is expected to bring heavy rains to North and South Carolina as well as Georgia. The storm could especially drench certain areas if it stalls for several hours, according to the National Weather Service.

ReplyDeleteYou realize that the U.S. military members receive anthrax shots right?
ReplyDeleteUse of the Anthrax against the military will be useless. It can only harm civilians.
So any use of anthrax is a war crime.
I don't think any keyboard warriors got their anthrax shots.
If "you" refers to me, the poster of the article above, a quick read would indicate we are not talking about anthrax
ReplyDelete"Mr Chen added that Anthrax has been found in the blood of North Korean defectors."
ReplyDelete"In other words, they’ve either been vaccinated against Anthrax or been exposed to the Anthrax virus or Anthrax bacteria rather, this a very serious situation."
"...a quick read would indicate we are not talking about anthrax" - Fred
I am just nonplussed that some one could have such a huge reading comprehension failure.
Just WOW!
This topic was about a hurricane? how we go to hurricane to chemical weapons.. Now to anthrax?

ReplyDeleteOn September 14, 2018 at 8:29 AM Fred posted about Anthrax.
Why?
To perhaps to show it is a very scary world, it is getting worse and that this is all Trump's fault.
He does not have to prove a thing. It is the ole throw it up against the wall and see if it will stick routine.

Pick out the name, if you can.
Fred is in civility mode. He took his medication. Everyone else is an asshole racist bigot who disagrees with him. Freds horse is very high in the clouds. Next post: Fred is off his meds and becomes the very schoolyard bully he accuses everyone else of being. Fred loves the protection and anonymity of his keyboard. Fred is a tool. Dont be like Fred.
ReplyDeleteDo you talk that to your co workers, children, spouse, boss, friends?

ReplyDeleteLapides,
ReplyDelete"girly boy." Why are you using LGBT slurs. I thought you were a Liberal and very pro LGBT. Now I'm going to have to rethink everything you've said.
ReplyDeleteAfter Kaepernick Ad, Nike Shares Hit a High

Real runners with real budgets went from Nike to New Balance to Saucony to something else.
ReplyDeleteWhy pay $120 for a $35 pair of shoes.
If you buy Nike, you are paying for & being duped by marketing or you are virtue signaling.
Fred never was a runner. If he is talking about Nike it is solely to support a political cause.
'Nuff said about the skater.

60 days as campaign manager. WOW! Collusion
Fred is one pisseur d’encre.

Most people do not like to pay double to quadruple what something is worth.
Well Fred did work for government.
Go figure
Lapides,
ReplyDelete"Martini time so I will sadly leave you gentle folks". That's ok. We'll get to converse some more of why you don't like LGBT's, I really don't understand the "girly boy" slur you use.
