Military absentee votes mysteriously delayed, sent back to Afghanistan, then dumped overboard before delivery...a day late

Hahaha...and you are still sucking up the joke story? Did you even look at the website it came from? It's all military humor stories.

Don't you understand? The quote was "“I expected a delay so I ordered that everyone cast their votes eight months ago." But there weren't any ballots eight months ago cause there were no candidates nominated until the conventions three months ago.

But if you still want to go on facts, even though the story is really funny,:


Now consider:

1. There were not enough absentee ballots shipped out. Even if ALL of them voted Romney and ALL of them were lost, it would not have made a difference.

2. There is no "Read Admiral John Dawes", the source quoted in the story. Try googling the name yourself.

3. The USS Kearsarge has not been the Gulf since May 2011, when she returned to port at Norfolk.

Think about it. You're one of those suckers who always goes for April Fools jokes, and everyone laughs at you, aren't you?

Sheesh...what a tool.

And here is another shocking news story from the same military news site that started this thread:

CAMP LEJEUNE, NC – Members of the Camp Lejeune Base Public Affairs were saddened by last week’s tragic suicide of Sergeant Jay Dorsey, a Public Affairs Marine, but proud that his last note highlighted the many features that can be found at the new base exchange.

“While I can no longer endure the pain and sorrow that is my life, at least I can be assured that the men and women aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune will continue to enjoy top quality service and bargain prices at the Exchange,” Sergeant Dorsey wrote just before hanging himself.
“In fact, I bought this rope there at 5% off the normal sales price. What a deal!”
Staff Sergeant Edward Lindsay, Dorsey’s supervisor, showed selected parts of the note to Duffel Blog reporters.

“It’s as if the walls of my spacious, comfortable barracks room are closing in,” began Dorsey’s note, which was several pages long and included multiple high-quality pictures taken by Combat Camera.

You sign up for the U.S. Military you lose all your rights until your enlistment is over.

PROBABLY NOT TRUE but as divided as the country is-AND IT IS-
not a very good joke.

Watch for big time layoffs coming and the re issue of the employment reports.

Boy would I be upset, if I were risking my life for this country and I my vote didn't even count, and was purposely delayed and not counted.

Chalk up one more sucker who believed the joke story!

hahahaha

Stolen? Itt was set in stone the moment romney alienated 47%+ of the voters, now were stuck with four more years because of one slip of the tongue

It's coming! Rolland Emmerich's next flick "White House Down" foretells it. Jammie Foxx is Obama!

Not true, we call it the Persian Gulf. We usually just say, "The Gulf," but the full name is the Persian Gulf.

Except for the Gold Souk and Shwarma Alley. Yum.

But yeah, Duffleblog is to the US military as the Onion is to everyone else.

and the hoax joke thread is still pinned!!! stupid fuckers!!!

Maybe you aren't Navy then. It's officially "Arabian Gulf" in the USN. It's not Persian Gulf because it isn't Persian (Iranian). See the link below for the official USN Style Guide.

Persian Gulf - use Arabian Gulf. "Gulf" is acceptable in second reference. Note: The Arabian Sea is its own body of water and should not be confused with references to the Arabian Gulf.

Sorry, but we call it the Persian Gulf. If there's some kind of official name change coming down the chain, then there's probably some kind of training on it in my future. Yippee.
