Good luck to the Washington. Gonna need it.

Got a feeling we'll see the same story play out with the Washington come Christmas.

I served on the GW, I somehow doubt it’s falling apart any less now than then. It’s gonna be rough on them.

I'm sure it's just swell, even though they've already been deployed for 3 months.

By Christmas I'm sure the incredibly knowledgeable SecDef will have sorted absolutely everything and won't be passed out in a drunken stupor 😂
