The naval institute reports the carrier was sold to a scrap company for one penny. But... ship is too big for Panama Canal so has to go the long way to Texas around South America.

Is that the ship is being towed by Chuck Norris who is swimming below pulling the chain attached to the ship
Chuck will take a break when the ship gets to Florida , his favorite meal is Arthur Treacher's crisp fried fish hot chips and Fanta to cool his jets

Those are real good for pushing off helicopters after another humiliating military defeat.
Worst bang for buck military in the world! And that’s being generous.

You can’t pin the blame for Nam or Afghanistan on the military. That honor goes to the politicians and think tankers who didn’t let the military do its job and had no coherent goals or strategies to consolidate gains and win. Vietnam is before my time so can’t point to any books or articles for that, but read the Afghanistan Papers. Excellent book. Eye opening and really makes you even more upset with the powers that be.
