On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired
Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on
a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his
patriotic message. But there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships.
While retired Adm. John Nathman, a former commander of Fleet Forces Command,
honored vets as America’s best, the ships from the Russian Federation
Navy were arrayed like sentinels on the big screen above. These were the very Soviet-era combatants that Nathman and Cold Warriors like him had once squared off against.
“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.”

@stevecore Tax payer funded means the government paid private companies to build it dumb shit. There is no Government construction company.

Nice to know the whole convention of United States politicians couldn't tell the difference between Russian battle cruisers and Yankee ones.

@Bob_Lablaw Can you read? If you can see a post below from him, I cant. He deleted me. I pointed out to him that at the Republican convention which had a theme of "We built it" they held it in a tax-payer funded stadium. So for him to rip on the DNC for this is hypocritical. So please take off your dunce hat and sit with the rest of the class now.

@stevecore tax payer funded...so what your saying is the private business class not only built their companies but also funded the construction of the building they used for the Republican convention...?
by tax payer funded, surely "tax" refers to money Raised by the government but Produce by private business...
you don't get it do you, private enterprise has funded this entire Nation no matter which way you want to slice it.
We Built It, yes not only did they build we build our bus More..

@singlelife Yeah the Republitards treat them great, sending them off to places like Iraq to be slaughtered for nothing. But then again, the treatment they get when they get back is top notch right? Walter Reed was a regular paradise under the Bush administration huh?
Here's an article about your party's love for the military:
