can someone tell me the use of having a war ship in the thames?
can someone tell me the use of having a war ship in the thames?
from my understanding (which is bad, i have very little interest in the olympics and not followed it really). but the security contract was given to the company "G4S", and about a week before the games begin they failed to get enough people, so the army had to stand in and replace them as security. it should have gone to the army to begin with really.

lol, dont even think Americas biggest boat would fit up the thames! how did they get it past all the bridges/barriers?!
but it just seems useless, whats that going to stop? if there was a terrorist attack, they probably wont be doing it by boat.
Y'all burned Washington, we still have to burn London
It's only fair

We blow up your bridges, that is how we get past them.
And your river too small? We make it bigger, then invade
Don't see why the services of terrorists would be required given that the Olympic eye-candy Boris Johnson will already be blowing everyone away.
What I'm wondering is if we're going to see David Tennant carry that torch or not, he did afterall do it in Doctor Who.
Nah, I don't mind them using us begrudgingly to help the country out in a time of need -or- in this case, a private company flat out falling on its arse... We've got enough things to be dealing with like fighting a war in Afghanistan and all the training / fall out / logistical clusterfuck that goes with fighting war to be used as commercial security for public events.
I know guys that are veterans of 4 tours of Afghanistan, decorated war heroes - and they're stood in London checking bags and security tags... It's fucking depressing.
Warships are the perfect mobile platform to launch operations from. We Marines can project miles inland within a matter of minutes from one of those bad boys via air or sea and deliver maximum violence exactly where it's needed. You can also park it right outside the games which is a massive bonus. All the logistics of running air and sea assets are self-contained as well.

The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...
