Especially for their original, critical purposes in 1916. And it was nuclear subs mentioned by the President, not just subs.

But I guess comprehension isn't high on your list, right? Enjoy your brief stay.

It reinforces President Obama's point about wasteful spending in the military. Why the hell do we need 195,334 bayonets for 20,000-30,000 deployed Marines? I don't recall him saying they're obsolete, I must of missed the fox version of the debate. My damn lying ears and brain, if I didn't have Fox I wouldn't know which voice in my head I should listen to.
