You think my first post on this thread was wordy and blunt I will lay into you so hard it isn't even funny. Please for both of us recant that question.
Well, if we continue about this deployment, it will derail the thread. And it is rather rude.
Nevertheless, I find it rather weird how USA throughout its history defended itself thousand miles away from its borders.
I suppose Japan defended itself in Pearl-Harbor, then.
and yeah, you can call it deployment.
Because a country flying an entire carrier group of aircraft into another country's naval base and blowing the shit out of it's ships is totally equivalent to fighting insurgents alongside government forces, or removing dictators who were cunts for the most part anyway.
