DNC ‘S GIANT 
BLUNDER!!!  NOT MADE IN AMERICA  , THAT’S FOR 
SURE!
On 
the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star 
took the stage to pay tribute to veterans.   Behind him, on a giant 
screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic 
message.
But 
there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian 
warships.
While 
retired Adm. John Nathman, a former commander of Fleet Forces Command, 
honored vets as 
America  ’s best, the ships from 
the Russian Federation Navy were arrayed like 
sentinels on the big 
screen above.  
These were the very Soviet-era 
combatants that 
Nathman and Cold 
Warriors like him had once squared off 
against.
“The 
ships are definitely Russian,” said noted naval author Norman Polmar after 
reviewing 
hi-resolution photos 
from the event. “There’s no question of that in my 
mind.”
Naval 
experts concluded the background was a photo composite of Russian ships that 
were 
overflown by what 
appear to be U.S.   trainer jets. It remains 
unclear how or why the 
Democratic Party used 
what’s believed to be images of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at their 
convention.
A 
spokesman for the Democratic National Convention Committee was not able to 
immediately comment Tuesday, 
saying he had to track down personnel to find out what had happened.
 Duh!  You can't fix stupid, but you can fire stupid!
