After three days I'm still not sure what the Daily Press intended when they published this guy...
Lately, there's more discussion regarding the near-sinking of the USS Cole, a huge warship that failed to defend itself from a dinghy loaded with a few Muslim extremists and a whole lot of explosives. If I was a member of the crew on the Cole that infamous day, I wouldn't be talking about what happened in the context of somebody "owing" me something. I'd be pretty low-profile, knowing that I, my shipmates, and especially my ship's captain and officers failed the United States and the Navy in not providing security that would have prevented a bunch of radicals from driving right up to my ship, detonating explosives, killing a lot of my fellow sailors and nearly sinking my ship.
Since COLE discussions have been pretty much off the radar for a few years I wonder where this guy comes from, why he wrote, and where he gets his opinions...because they stink.
Far better commentary and responses at the USNI Blog.
