Well that just makes me want to join the us navy and I'm not even American
I mean, Star Wars was meant to be a direct allegory for the War in Vietnam so….
Didn't actually know that.
Yeah, the rebels are supposed to be the Viet Cong... There is also a whole shitload of world war II imagery yeah
Direct allegory for a lot of conflicts.
LCAC is a little slow and the osprey didn't crash killing 12 servicemen.
Really good use of our tax dollars.
Unironically. The suez canal being open is vital for the global economy
Yeah I'd personally much prefer the world's shipping lanes be patrolled by the US navy than taken over by pirates.
Edit: I was looking at this from an American perspective and assuming these were all 'murican ships and aircraft. There aren't. Nothing I previously wrote would align with the video since the British navy is weird. So, I just erased my assumptions. They were likely all wrong anyway.
Judging by the fact that the front of that flat deck has a ski jump, I’d wager that it’s the HMS Queen Elizabeth, which does in fact have a dual-island design.
That explains my confusion. Something looked really off and and my brain couldn't compute what I was seeing, TBH. The elevators looked right, but I still wasn't sure.
Edit: There more. Is that whole group British? The last two fixed wing aircraft that fly by aren't 'murican either. I see a Black Hawk-type helicopter, I think. We use SH/HH-60s in our Navy that have their rear strut moved way forward. The British and Americans both use LCACs as well. The leading helicopter might actually be a Merlin followed by some Wildcats. Alas, all I can make are stupid guesses now.
unlimited fiya-powaahhh!!!
FUCK YES, SHOOTING PEOPLE!
Nah, I'm Canadian.
I know that the HCMS Vancouver snuck into visual range of a US carrier group before being told to screw off.
Unfortunately most of the rest of the world doesn't give a shit, or swallow up the American propaganda that what Ansar Allah are doing is just random acts of terrorism.
this is anti-American propaganda made by a non american wtf are you talking about??
