Since 1990 Operation Desert Shield?

Or maybe since the 23 October 1983, Beirut Marine barracks bombing.

Was this operation meant to benefit the American way of life?

Were Marines defending the constitution in Lebanon?

Look for newspeople and school teachers to ask zero questions in these areas.

These questions do not need to be asked on Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Blue Angels day or Armed Forces Day. Sometime during the year, please ask these questions.

Maps capture the travel strain on USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier

“Supply problems started at the beginning of the war on Feb. 28 when Iran attacked and heavily damaged much of Naval Support Activity Bahrain, a key Navy logistics base on the island of Bahrain in the Persian Gulf…”

“That’s caused the loss of what the Navy calls a “liberty port” – a port at which a ship’s crew can leave the vessel for free time ashore.”

“Crew members use that time to rest, connect with family and engage in recreation. Ships can be resupplied and repairs can be made.”

Post-Vietnam guilt

The guilt doesn’t seem to work towards staying out of undeclared/unwon wars.
