The ocean is our garbage dump. You'd have to be a grade A moron to eat from a garbage dump.

You "fought" in Grenada? Or the DR? Or Panama?

Must have felt heroic blowing up poorly trained soldiers to back up a CIA pissing contest.

Panama. I jumped in as the enemy on the ground were shooting at us. I'd say that was a tad brave. Don't hate just because you've never done anything significant, sport.

>> No.5867707

>>5867693

I've done things more significant than that, but nothing that I could describe here without identifying me specifically (or at least my company). A project I personally run was the subject of a front page article in an internationally significant newspaper, in a more or less neutral light (can't please everyone).

I'm glad you're proud of your combat though. In a certain way I think it would be fun.

Look at this retard, he thinks a tiny patch of garbage could actually do jack shit to the vastness that is our oceans.

>> No.5868062

tiny? try thousands of square miles. Would you eat the organisms that live in your septic tank?

>> No.5868097

>>5868062
You don't really understand how big the ocean is and how quickly that garbage is consumed by the oceanic organisms. Even those enrmous oil spills by Exxon and BP didn't mean shit to the ocean's ecosystem.

You're just dumb. Seriously.

big fish eat the little fish which feed on the toxic waste, but that's ok because it means you're only eating a little bit of shit yourself?

Since you're so good at math, go and get yourself an average sized aquarium fill it with the quantity of water there is in our ocean and then dump the equivalent of that 'patch' in that aquarium you will then realize how stupid you are.

It's funny how brainwashed right wing "pro-business" [sic] types are. Anything that smacks of concern over environmental pollution, food supply safety, etc, is derided as hysteria and they actually want to DEFEND eating poisoned food because they think that some day they'll finally be a billionaire just like those Koch Bros.

Missile shields a shit

All you have to do is spam the ABM launchers

In addition, unless you mean the kind that intercepts during the ascent (difficult to impossible to correctly implement), you can't stop an EMP which would be devastating even from one warhead. Let alone thousands.

Nope, not at all. Got no problem with US projecting power over seas because they have never bombed the UK. Don't think we should lie to ourselves about any peace though because the US has been in pretty much a continual war.
