    ^Minor fact check, seems like the item about hull damage from being hit by a champagne bottle might be a hoax. Near as I could tell it originally came from a parody news site ( https://www.duffelblog.com/ )

    Fair enough, I picked that as an example for dramatic effect, but the LCS vessels have been notorious for hull issues and damage.

    Seems like a questionable use of resources to nab a busboy.

    It's more expensive and dangerous to go after members of MS13, instead of Jose Busboy.

    The contract [with Unite Airlines], worth $2.1 billion, tasks the airline company with locating Assad, grabbing him from his seat in the presidential palace, and “dragging him out of Damascus by his arms.” The contract also notes that Assad should be “asked several times, politely” to give up his seat of power, though if he refuses, United workers should bloody his nose up a bit, according to the posting at FedBizOpps.

    You can bury an AK-47 for a long period of time and it'll continue to remain operation after you dig it up.
