GOP rep says ‘Happy BDay US Navy’ but shows picture of Russian ship.

Ooops, I think I posted the Russian one on facebook. Shared it from a friend who shared it from the Gary Sinise Foundation page.

Went back to check and the image is gone from both my post and my friend's. And on the GSF page, there's a new Navy anniversary post which was made about an hour after we shared the other one.

Ahhhh, Gary Sinise is a good guy.
Yeah, he's a con, but he's alright.

Some Russian internet troll in St Petersburg is laughing his ass off right now and is going to collect his 10,000 ruble bonus.

The pic is of a Russian cruiser - the ‘Pyotr Velikiy’.

No foul. His heart was in the right place.
 
"Where can you find pleasure
Search the world for treasure
Learn science technology
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea..."


Almost became a USN recruiting song.

Never heard it before.

I like this one much more:
Verse 1]
Stand Navy out to sea,
Fight our battle cry;
We'll never change our course,
So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll out the TNT,
Anchors Aweigh.
Sail on to victory
And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!

[Verse 2]
Anchors Aweigh, my boys,
Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to foreign shores,
We sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night ashore,
Drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more.
Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.

[Verse 3]
Blue of the mighty deep:
Gold of God's great sun.
Let these our colors be
Till all of time be done, done, done, done.
On seven seas we learn
Navy's stern call:
Faith, courage, service true,
With honor, over honor, over all.

The view from a US Navy submarine just before it launches a torpedo? :lamo

Mast was implicated as a sucker for Guccifer 2.0, not an accomplice of Russia’s dirty tricks.

They helped him win. His campaign reached out to Guccifer 2.0...not the other way around.

Meh. I see the humor, but this seems an honest and easy to make mistake. Not a fan of the guy, but not going to hang him out to dry over something like this.

Note: for anyone wanting to post a picture of a US navy boat, google image search The Sullivans DD-537. It is an American ship, named for the Sullivan Brothers, and really cool looking for a destroyer. Then you can't go wrong.

And? Where’s the illegal part? Where’s the evidence that Mast, personally, was involved in communicating with Guccifer 2.0?

You think that if the shoe was on the other foot, and the Republicans were the targets for hacking that Dems would’ve said “Oh my, this is just terrible. I can’t take advantage of this ill gotten information!”.

“Cool looking for a destroyer”? Many of us old tin can sailors happen to think all destroyers look cool. ;)

The GOP has a history of stealing from Democrat campaigns but I can't think of an actual case when Democrats stole from a GOP campaign, can you?
 
I have no idea how many navies there are in the world, but it’s got to be in the hundreds, and the GOP picked a ship from literally the one country they have a comical association with. Unbelievable.

The GOP didn’t steal the information.
 
Bandit said:
No, they got the Russians to do that for them.

You’re saying the Republicans recruited Russia to hack the DNC? Where’s the evidence of it?

Give the guy a break. Dumb mistake, but human as hell.

It's the thought that counts
