As Expected, Fox News Blames USS McCain Collision on Political Correctness.

[TrollBuster9090]

As you would expect, Fox News trotted out one of their favorite oafs to blame the two collisions of two US Navy ships in the last two months on Obama and political correctness.

According to their favorite second-string ex-military shill Ralph Peters (presumably Oliver North and Allen West were off someplace polishing their bayonets), Obama forced the sailors to take so much race-relations training that they didn't have enough time left to learn how to navigate and steer a ship. Even the shit-heads who watch Fox News must be getting tired of that one....

3. Avoiding collisions at sea

has almost nothing to do with navigational training.

There are simple "rules of the road" to follow" and there are radar and sonar equipment to monitor (mostly radar).

There are two explanations that I can think of right now...

1) Coincident - two navy ships just happen to have negligent crews that allowed this to happen

or

2) Someone has figured out how to hack into our Navy's radar and GPS systems to give false readings to the crew.


I've heard about the possibility of the GPS being hacked or jammed, but haven't heard that the radar systems that would warn of a potential collision being hacked too.

But I am beginning to suspect that this is the case and nobody wants to spill the beans to the population at large

4. You're forgetting the merchant vessels.

I'll wait and see what the Navy turns up in it's investigation.

8. Well, the fired the Captain and the XO of the USS Fitzgerald, so that one was human error.

Unless, of course, they were willing to take one for the team to keep the real cause a secret. Same thing with the patrol boats that ended up in Iranian waters in 2016. They blamed it on human error and poor leadership.

5. Let me see

You have a Light Bird Colonel, from the Army, telling us what is wrong, with the Navy. Of course Faux news, wants us to think, he knows what he is talking about. 'Fair and Balanced, you decide'.

6. Would have been at or before 5:24AM local time

Fully an hour before nautical twilight, so very dark. Radar should have been screaming, but they were in confined waters with lots of traffic. No excuse for the watch to have not seen this coming.

7. Insanity

9. ...for the insane. Tragic COMEDY for the sane. nt

11. This talking head is a giant sucking asshole...

sadly many folks agree with his drivel. Fux news is an abomination

[SergeStorms]

12. "the shit-heads who watch Fox News"......

never get tired of blaming Obama for everything. It's their raison d'être.

Well, that and Hillary's emails, Benghazi, the Clinton "death count" etc. They LIVE for that stuff. To hell with REAL news. FOX was the inventor of the "fake news" Trump's always crowing about.
