All week long the democrats at their convention were touting veterans, and how they care about the military.Then, it is the final night of the DNC, a retired Four Star General took the stage. He stepped up to the podium and preceeded to give a stirring patriotic speech about our veterans and our active duty service members. Behind him on the big screen was a collage of images. The largest being one of what was thought to be of U.S. Naval Ships...
But wait a second, upon a closer look and after a higher resolution -it shows they are infact Russian, and from the Black Sea Fleet. Wow...what a screw up!:
“The ships are definitely Russian,” said noted naval author Norman Polmar after reviewing hi-resolution photos from the event. “There’s no question of that in my mind.”
A spokesman for the Democratic National Convention Committee was not able to immediately comment Tuesday, saying he had to track down personnel to find out what had happened.
The veteran who spotted the error and notified Navy Times said he was immediately taken aback.
“I was kind of in shock,” said Rob Barker, 38, a former electronics warfare technician who left the Navy in 2006. Having learned to visually identify foreign ships by their radars, Barker recognized the closest ship as the Kara-class cruiser Kerch.
“An immediate apology [from the committee] would be very nice,” Barker said. “Maybe acknowledge the fact that yes, they screwed up.”
The background — featured in the carefully choreographed hour leading up to the president’s Sept. 6 speech accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination — showed four ships with radar designs not used in the U.S. fleet.

That, my friend is what I call a "Freudian slip"
ReplyDeleteThink about it.
I actually thought that as well. it was wishful thinking on the part of the socialist
DeleteI guess that is his foreign policy shining through.
ReplyDeleteha ha ha ha... your right! or his wish to make us like russia
DeleteMaybe they were just wishing.
ReplyDeleteYep! My thought exactly...
Deletebahahahahahaah! oh bahahahahahahah! someone is definitely getting fired for this!!!! oh i love it! it just shows that everything with them is all smoke and mirrors - they don't give a flying crap about the military! i mean, really, how hard is it to find a pic of actual US ships and then have someone....say, like a person who knows what a US ship looks like, ok it? is that so freakin hard???? someone is getting fired for sure. oh JUGM - this fricken made my day - bahahahahahahahah!
ReplyDeleteyour friend,
kymber
don't get too excited...they will do what they always do, and sweep it under the rug. It was not mentioned anywhere on the Mainstream news outlets.
DeleteSo I doubt someone gets fired.
And you are right, they should have had all videos and pics O'kd by someone that knows what they are doing. It is not rocket science!!!! Its not that difficult GOOGLE a U.S. Navy ship image and save it... It is funny though because that whole convention was a pure disaster.
The wonders a well placed Republican can achieve! To actually sneak pics of Russian ships into that presentation must have been the work of undercover operatives of the eVil Republicans, or so the demoncrats will probably later claim.
