Here Comes The US Navy - Pattaya

Back in its glory years in which I lived in Pattaya the city was called the Last Babylon by its farang population of bank robbers, mail workers from the UK, football thugs on the run, and Interpol officers hunting the men with whom they drank with every night, instead of its present manifestation as a refuge for mindless remote hi-tech workers as well as Russian and Zionist draft dodgers. Total loser scum.

This week the long lost USS Abraham Lincoln an its three destroyer escorts finally left the Arab Gulf after a ten month deployment on Operation Project Freedom. I'm glad that the ships have crossed the Indian Ocean in peace and are no longer bombing civilians in Iran for our ally Israel.

Over the past months sailors have sent desperate emails to family and friends complaining the opposite; cut rations, bad water, overflowing toilets ad nauseum. I saw a photo of a rust belt wrapped around the hull. Donald Trump refuted 'fake news' reports of a ship in distress and said on TV, “The Lincoln has been out there for a period of time – a good period of time – but over the years, we’ve had them out there much longer and it hasn't been out there long enough.”

Late August knowing they were leaving for home, Capt. Daniel Keeler, the commanding officer, allowed a steel beach picnic complete with beer and there's more to come for the thirsty swabbies after 286 days at sea Yesterday the Navy convoy passed through the Malacca Straits and proceeded north up the Gulf of Siam to berth off Laem Chabang, Thailand's major trade port north of Pattaya on the Gulf of Siam.

While the sailors are eager to reach the ship's home base at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, California, the ships have to be resupplied before crossing the Pacific for the next more days. No place better for R & R than Pattaya just thirty kilometers south down Sukhumvit. Bars, discos, go-go bars, beer beer beer. Thailand has generously offered free business service to convey the sailors to Walking Street. The Thai police announced a crackdown on Walking Street prostitution.

Yesterday the twenty boys in brown uniforms harassed women along the Beach Road in a training exercise for a mass of 5000 sailor cut loose for a holiday. No marijuana smoking or para-sailing allowed according to Peter Hesgeth, head of the War Department.

At a mandatory all hands assembly on the flight deck the ship's chaplains announced that the Secretary of War had also declared the go-go bars, short time bars, and rent boy clubs off-limits with a Christian warning from the Bible warning about the loss of their immortal souls. No Soi 6. Shore patrols will protect our troopsfrom sin. Fat chance. These sailors came to see the elephants.

Back in 1999 the City Police Captain answered a reporter's query about prostitution, "All I see are young people having fun."

Read your Bible, swabbies or have fun. This is a once in a lifetime chance to drink toast the living. Not one sailor died in combat. Only one jumped overboard. Drink to peace. Imagine/

My fear is that The Pentagon will send the Abraham Lincoln back to the Gulf. I wouldn't put it past the Orange Messiah.

Pattaya isn't home, but it more fun than Psalms.
