Sounds like the Mediterranean Sea is a Hamas sympathizer, US is going to launch an anti-sea operation in the near future.

it is another stark reminder that the brave men and women who defend our great nation put their lives on the line each and every day to keep our country safe.

What, praytell, were they doing in the Mediterranean that had anything to do with keeping the US safe? I am going to go out on a limb and guess absolutely fuckall given that it is a minimum of 6,000 km from the US.
