people forgot that america is a superpower for a reason. we arent a bitch we usually just play passive. and if they think what we are doing in other countries is interfearing with shit with force then they must have failed history class. ww2 is when we became the defacto top country. we have stayed that way ever since in both military and economy. just because some other groups got nukes as well doesn't mean their military power increased in quality. all they did was enter a cold war that never ended. wont end until someone throws a nuke. but then the world ends so :/. but our troops have always been better trained our tactics have always been better. everyone has forgotten that during WW2 once we entered the war we ended the war. passive doesn't mean weak. WW3 hasn't happened yet since china and russia still have half a brain cell left to not attack us. and the fact that 2 countries who could easily become allies do not attack a single country shows they don't want the problems.

It's also interesting how that plays into how the US (and NATO allies) typically talk down our new equipment in order to keep its capabilities unknown from potential enemies, whereas the Soviets (and since the fall of the USSR, Russia) always oversells its equipment by making claims the materiel can't back up in order to make potential enemies scared of it. Effect vs. Intimidation. (Or in the case of the Russian Federation, attempting to sell overpriced and underdeveloped new materiel to other nations in the hopes that those countries would actually front the money to get the actual production capabilities up and running, like as happened for the Armata, Su-57, BMPT Terminator, and a slew of other post-Soviet vehicles that dead-ended before going into full production.)

A theme that runs through Nicks vids is " Don't fuck with American ships".

I mean, we entered the Barbary Wars, war of 1812, spanish american war, ww1, ww2, vietnam and probably a few more I'm forgetting that each had the sinking of a US vessel or aligned vessel as a major point of us entering.

Don’t feel bad about not knowing. I was an adult living in the Hampton Roads area at the time and I don’t recall hearing about it. Cheers!

This is the BEST reaction I've seen to this 😂 y'all had me rolling! I'm a Navy vet who only knew about this story because 1. I remember it happening and 2. I enlisted in the next year (89). Everyone involved, particulary the DC crew are LEGENDS in the Naval Community ⚓️. Thanks for your service too my brothers 🫶

As a Veteran, I seek other Veterans for humor, especially when I need a good laugh. Fat Electrician was a (63W I believe is the MOS) Army National Guard Medic…. AKA “Doc”. You should check out his early video he did about 11 Bravos, being a “former” 11B myself it had me cry laughing 🤣

The reaction to his videos and seeing who responds to the veteran humor is amazing. The dark humor just crushes some people and their reaction is almost as good as the story.

Brings humor and levity to something that is otherwise very impressive, but also quite sad. As those oil, rigs and boats aren’t just things they were people, husbands fathers uncles, nephews, cousins, real life with lost!!. But I also love the way he tells stories. It’s amazing and again, although people are killed, things are destroyed. He Tells a story in a way that is palatable for everybody. ! ❤

As Army Vets you guys would probably love his video on Jake McNasty.. but you'd definitely also enjoy his video on Dan Daly even though he's Marine..
