Though, come to think of it…Maybe “wows” isn’t exactly the word we want.

Merrie - In 1962 I was stationed on a Flagship the USS Boston and we were off the coast of Cuba in formation with other ships during the Cuban Crisis ordeal. I remember standing on deck in dress whites at attention in about 100 degree weather waiting for President Kennedy to fly over. I don't exactly recall how long we waited there to pay our respects to him but it was quite a while. I think the expression I had on my face may have been the same one that these troops have. I wasn't being disrespectful I just wished I was doing something else at the time. Maybe these troops are thinking the same thoughts. Thanks for the clip!

ofcapri, thanks for your service to our country.

I could imagine that during that time in history, being part of the embargo with Cuba and the Russian missiles crisis would have been extremely stressful. But, I could also imagine that if JFK had come aboard the USS Boston, the crew would have been very pleased to see him.

Obama never did, never will have the judgment to commander-in-chief, and if Obama's Iraq plan had been implemented, Saddam would still be the despotic ruler of that country.
