      remember when the u.s. navy shot down an iranian passenger aircraft when he was president, killing over 100 civilians, and his response was “i’m not an apologize-for-america kind of guy”?

        The tv at the gym was on CNN again, they were interviewing troops on one of the ships out there and they were all laughing and eating ice cream sundaes
