NYC Fleet Week? Not so much this year

Post by Dalton »

No ships, no additional sailors or marines for you military junkies around NYC thanks to budget cuts.

Unfortunately, there will be no Navy ships in New York this year for Fleet Week and no additional Sailors or Marines. We look forward to the opportunity to participate in future Fleet Weeks and we greatly appreciate the city's patience and understanding during these unusual times. Thank you NYC for what you do for our service men and women each and every day. Hope to see you next year!

Austerity applies only to those fucking disgusting poor lazy welfare queens who only have three minimum-wage part time jobs while trying to raise three kids with no father. Defense spending makes their dicks hard.

They love it unless it inconveniences them.

And here I thought it was Cialis.

And despite having worked in the city for the last eight years, I don't think I've ever noticed when Fleet Week was happening. I guess sailors aren't clamoring to hang out en masse in Union Square. I wonder where they usually do go, though.
