DNC Salute to Vets Featured Backdrop Of Russian Warships

[ElNono]

"Our politicians, and their henchmen, at their finest! In an apparent error, the Democratic National Convention's primary backdrop for its salute to veterans, by a 4-star admiral, featured a composite warship backdrop, in parade review, as a sign of U.S. strength and force projection; unfortunately, all of the naval ships in the image were Russian warships (http://www.navytimes.com/news/2012/09/navy-russian-warships-displayed-dnc-veterans-tribute-091112/)."

:lmao fucking idiots.

Serves them right, though. Both parties love to pay false tribute to the troops and vets and this shows it.

Are you guys sure they're Russian? Those look like F-5s flying above them, which the US never used but sold all over the Middle East and in Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, etc.

[Shastafarian]

Swayze would have never let that happen.

Planes are likely photoshopped in.

That just makes it worse. You photoshop planes the US has never used in any kind of meaningful role and sold overseas instead because they sucked so much? :rollin

How fucking hard is it to add some F-18s instead? :lol

[baseline bum]

Makes sense if this was some trolljob by someone in the DNC though I guess, since the MiGs Tom Cruise shot down in Top Gun were F-5s.

[ElNono]

TFA says they are F-5s and apparently photoshopped in alongside the Russian's Black Sea Fleet :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah they really looked photo shopped to me. We do fly them I think though. They are in the ANG if I remember correctly.

You're right that they were the mythical MiG28 from Top Gun though. :lol

The leftist media tried to hide this from public view I bet. This happened how ling ago? More than two weeks, isn't it?

[ChumpDumper]

Who in the media would have known they were Russian ships on sight?

I'm sure someone pointed it out right away, unless...

Are you suggesting no navy personnel watched the DNC?

[ChumpDumper]

I'm sure someone pointed it out right away, unless...

Are you suggesting no navy personnel watched the DNC?No. I'm suggesting that Fox would have shit itself as soon as anyone found out about it.

[Wild Cobra]

No. I'm suggesting that Fox would have shit itself as soon as anyone found out about it.
Maybe they did.

Do you watch Fox? I don't.

Drudge had this a while a go (a couple of weeks) apparently Kerry made the same mistake in 04 as well

Fucking idiot. There's about 153,224,367,000 items more newsworthy than this. What's the news content here? None.

wc = the boy who cried wolf

[Latarian Milton]

russian warships? so they're all warships for sale now and may be purchased by anyone imho

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Two things:

1) What a bunch of fucking idiots. Really.

2) Anyone trying to paint this as anything more than a inadvertent fuck up is a political hack of biblical proportions. (WC)
