        When Trump and Hegseth yelled at their generals for being fat beardos Trump also, with seriousness he added, wanted the military to invest in old school battleships because they were more “aesthetically pleasing” and also cheaper to fire 🤷

          Oh please do, please do. Nothing would make me laugh harder than that first battleship getting it’s ass handed by some drone or missile that’ll take it out easily

            It’s weird how battleships just went obsolete with the invention of missiles with 10 times the range of cannons even though they are so aesthetically pleasing?

            But to be fair… the US used a battleship as late as in the Gulf war. Albeit it was rebuilt to fire missiles lmao
