Then look at this "Priceless" thread as a follow-up to that SLR thread. It's pretty funny actually, at least everyone involved in that thread are having a good time with it.

"Ownage" on this site, IMO, is too much like Bush's Victory in Iraq claim of a couple years ago -- highly premature, and unwarranted - perhaps even worse than that....
But then again...I've had a worse experience of it, perhaps, than some others....

It was the Carrier's banner & they ALWAYS post a slogan like that when coming home. Guys in one of our F-14 squadrons (VF-84) had, "2 Men..2 Phoenix, 2 Sidewinders, Too Bad"! on shirts, etc. The Navy community (like all our Forces) kicks azz & are proud of it. End of tirade.

What kind of banner do you think they should have been flying at that time?

The crew of that ship had every right to hang that banner and be proud of what they accomplished, they EARNED it. The tendency of the President's enemies to exploit the event for political gain is deplorable, and underscores their contempt for the very people who defend their ability to do it. Politics is bloodsport, but it shouldn't be at the expense of regular folks, doing their job, some of them making the ultimate sacrifice. End of my tirade
