Comment: in fairness, putting fresh

in fairness, putting fresh coats of "paint" then going home for the day is a far cry from keeping the ship, that you LIVE on, from sinking/severe damage. It's not even the same discussion. There are people in the Navy that- GASP -value their lives and the lives of their shipmates. Not disputing the false flag potential for ANY ship in that region, but you're comparing apples to shoelaces.
