That's seriously fucked up. I wonder if sunken warships are considered war graves? I guess it depends on location, national vs international waters.
Only idiots that don't know that operational money is appropriated BEFORE SAR ops happen would say stupid shit like this
You also don't know shit from shinola about aviation.
I didnt know what Shinola was. Without Googling it, can you explain what it looks like?
Its shoe polish, not even made anymore, so most of us wouldnt know shit from Shinola, because 90% of us dont even know what Shinola is!
I grew up with the phrase "he doesn't know shit from Shinola."
As an adult, I decided to be a smartass. So, I asked a friend, "Shit and Shinola - what's the difference?"
He said, "Well, one is a shoe polish."
Which I knew, I just wanted to be a smartass and he was stealing my thunder as only a friend can do.
Yes they are considered war graves and protected by international law.
Pre-atomic age steel is a hot commodity, and it's hard to keep watch on remote sites:
There was another vid where they took survivors and relatives out to visit/honor a wargrave only to find that it had been stripped in its entirety.
This one:

houston-typing oops. glad the grammar and language police are on the job. perfection is important.
You did it 4 times. I assumed it was intentional…
The US navy paid a steep learning curve in blood during WW2 in the pacific with ships in combat .....captains ,ships ,training ,weapons ,tactics were terrible ....worse at night .
yea. my thought has always been that roosevelt had them committed in a way that they were "showing the flag" and aiding our allies (who the germans had already trashed) for political reasons to make our weakness look good. not real sure as i have a serious FDR hate. and,i do pretty much blame him along with churchill and stalin for finessing us into that war.
Normally one would think that jokes about something like this would be in bad taste. But with all of the condescending arrogance, and total stupidity that was displayed, and that surrounded this whole thing, it's really hard to find sympathy for any of those idiots.
Especially that "kid". He supposedly didn't want to go. And only did so to "please" his father. I would have asked for the $250K, and told him to stick his submarine ride where the Sun never shines. If it's "pleasure" he was after, the kid could have bought him a nice hooker for less than 1% of that.

I might be slow today but I'm not getting it
It’s a metaphysical illustration of the fickle whims of the internet psyche. We memed the thing until the next thing came along. Then we forgot the first thing. Soon another thing will be along and we will forget the next thing…
Most kids [me included] would toss their granny off the dock to get a seat in that thing
Hell, we’d toss your granny off the dock to put you in that thing.
truth be told i could have paid for my own ticket ,decades ago i was gonna fly on the SST for a date/goof .....i dodged that one too
IT WILL NEVER DIE......
Anyway according to this video the Titan got the shit kicked out of it the previous dive then went out to the titanic with no inspection for damage.
"I'm going to get a dive in even if it kills me "
