Another image from the USS Abraham Lincoln showed “a small handful of boiled carrots, a dry meat patty and a gray slab of processed meat.”

The kind of friendship that forms in repetition—forged in boredom, pressure, and shared volume. We did everything together.

I think the vp's mind is a little warped... "One of the many, many, ironies about that statement is that it came in response to Pope Leo's comments about war and peace and, specifically, the concept of 'just war,' which originated with St. Augustine," Martin explained.
