* live on CSPAN from Naval Station North Island

[paineinthearse]

60th anniversary of VJ Day.

Question. I am a former "skivvy waver". The international signal flags behind the podium are "CINC". What is CINC?

[Richardo]

1. Commander in Chief

Which I guess he is entitled to because of his office. :eyes:

I love how they have to keep reminding us of that.

[paineinthearse]

4. OMFG

What a misuse of signal flags.

And, they are in error, the pattern should be Charlie, India, November, first repeater.

[paineinthearse]

5. Drumbeating the fact that WW2 was a 2-theatre war

For his next adventure....

Iraq/Iran?
Iraq/Syria?
Iraq/Korea?

[charlie]

9. One of Rummy's first acts

was stripping theater commanders of their CinC designations. Petty pinhead wasn't abiding anyone else laying claim to the title.

2. Is he SMIRKING?

:grr:

[NoQuarter]

3. Yes. eom

[catnhatnh]

6. Should read....Commander in Chief United States....

Pronounced: Sinkus.....

[paineinthearse]

7. Band now playing "Monkey wrapped its tail around the flagpole"

How fitting!
