New Navy slogan: A global force for good

0 votes

I saw a Navy commerical on TV yesterday, and it proudly announced that the U.S. Navy is "a global force for good." I'm glad they finally clarified the mission--for the longest time I thought it was supposed to protect the USA.

"How can we justify to the unemployed and underemployed in the United States the incredible cost of maintaining a global empire?" - Dr. Ron Paul

has anyone thought about a

has anyone thought about a different meaning of "for good" as in perpetuity?

Perhaps a global force forever?

EXACTLY!!

That's how it was perceived here...

Well they can't exactly say

Well they can't exactly say " Global force for U.N. " can they? At least not yet. But I saw it too watching the UT football game.

Navy's newest warships top out at more than 50 mph
By DAVID SHARP, Associated Press Writer David Sharp, Associated Press Writer – Thu Oct 22, 5:32 pm ET

BATH, Maine – The Navy's need for speed is being answered by a pair of warships that have reached freeway speeds during testing at sea.

Independence, a 418-foot warship built in Alabama, boasts a top speed in excess of 45 knots, or about 52 mph, and sustained 44 knots for four hours during builder trials that wrapped up this month off the Gulf Coast. The 378-foot Freedom, a ship built in Wisconsin by a competing defense contractor, has put up similar numbers.

Both versions of the Littoral Combat Ship use powerful diesel engines, as well as gas turbines for extra speed. They use steerable waterjets instead of propellers and rudders and have shallower drafts than conventional warships, letting them zoom close to shore.

The ships, better able to chase down pirates, have been fast-tracked because the Navy wants vessels that can operate in coastal, or littoral, waters. Freedom is due to be deployed next year, two years ahead of schedule.

Independence is an aluminum, tri-hulled warship built by Austal USA in Mobile, Ala. The lead contractor is Maine's Bath Iron Works, a subsidiary of General Dynamics.

Lockheed Martin Corp. is leading the team that built Freedom in Marinette, Wis. It looks more like a conventional warship, with a single hull made of steel.

The stakes are high for both teams. The Navy plans to select Lockheed Martin or General Dynamics, but not both, as the builder. The Navy has ordered one more ship from each of the teams before it chooses the final design. Eventually, the Navy wants to build up to 55 of them.

Goodness cannot be Forced

neither can compassion.

So the global kings and tyrants that use our military are good?

Some day when we are in Heaven we will have to see what God has to say about that.

I am convinced that our nation is so much in debt that the only thing we have left to offer up is our sons and daughters to fight and die in foreign wars on behalf of multinational corporations owned and controlled by foreign kings and tyrants.

Does this not demonstrate that we are already slaves to other nations.

If BP or Royal Dutch Shell are "good" then I might agree with this slogan. Sorry, I am just not convinced of that myself.

Also, I wonder how much was paid to some corporate marketing team to come up with this lame @ss slogan?

Go Green. Recycle Congress!

That's my new slogan.

Reuse them as soldiers before recycling.

Send the congressmen and senators to take the fighting man's place for 1 month. Let the soldier have leave with their families for this month.

Force congress and the senate to serve for one month if they support the war.

This would take care of the problem.

Military Industrial Complex Corporations could never pay enough to overcome the fear of a congressman or senator being handed an M4 Rifle for a month.

"a lot of people are now

"a lot of people are now into things like giving back to the community" said one guy in the video...

...Well, "now" meaning now, since America elected a man because he is black (applause)
"community" is a hint to one of the part time occupations he had: community organizer.
And "giving back" means: You ain't gonna get nothing.
Work for free and give it all to the banks.

At least they still found one guy who believes this crap, heard the fundraiser with Obama the other day was half empty.

Thanks for the links. I liked the comments from the viewers on Lou Dobbs..."we'll knit you a sweater" was hilarious. Yeah, they need to change it. I have heard very little support for these commercials so I am having difficulty believing that the decision to run this slogan was based on surveys. No way.

excellent quote

Are you familiar with the Cloward-Piven Strategy? It reminds me of the quote you referenced...the theory of it. If you haven't heard of it, I highly recommend that you check it out. Here's the link.

Navy slogan

I'm with you, johnpp2, this makes it sound as though we have an obligation to police the rest of the world instead of protect Americans. I haven't seen the commercial but I have heard about it. I think it sounds an awful lot like pandering to this whole "Global New Deal" aka "New World Order" garbage and would appreciate it if the Navy stopped airing anything & advertising with that slogan. There are certainly better ways to get people to enlist. This is insulting.
