dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Actually it's because you'd otherwise not be able to have any air support over most of the ocean.

hmm now why might a country like america need a bunch of air support so far from its borders all the time? most other countries seem to get along fine with only one or two carriers or none at all...

But that war ended a long, long time ago. And they kept building aircraft carriers. Why would Americans do this?

I dunno. Warmongering I think.
