    But the Coastal states of the USA could just become Provinces of Canada. Although given the intellectual pomposity coupled with meh cities of some of the East Coast States probably wouldn't be allowed in.

    Given the property prices in Vancouver it is surprising Washington State does vote for Waxit and become



    The top 1/2 of Maine should join Canada and re-route route 1 in Canada to be a straight line. Not a big difference between Northern Maine and New Bunswick....

    When someone clearly say its stance "So my opinion is no civil war is coming at all" but still get the same old joke from the same poster.....

    Glad you brought that up.

    Unfortunately, the Navy does their basic training in the mid-west. Small problem.

    And then there is the minor issue of Trump Tower and the new winter White House being in a coastal area.

    While there appears to be a lot of unrest and unhappiness in the USA, civil war is a long way away. So far, touch wood, the checks and balances of the system are working: where federal laws are broken judges are calling it right and pulling back the administration. Whether this will continue if he continues to sack judges and civil servants, not so sure.

    I agree with whoever above said that for most of the US nothing much has changed. Most of them don't care about trade treaties or immigrants; they like their red-neck christian simplistic view of the world and - frankly - are probably seeing a politician actually doing what he said he would do. You can't really blame Trump for doing what he said he would do - I blame the dickheads who voted for him. But that's democracy for you.

    I do have a friend who knows him and I am having a fascinating offline conversation with him. So far he's not said anything to make me change my mind that Trump is a dangerous narcissist but some of the points have been illuminating. We shall see.

    At the end of the day - the public get to choose again in 4 years. Perhaps the "I hate trump but I hate hillary more" voters might see the error of their ways and fix this mess. You cannot unwind the fabric of America in 4 years. Although I think you can do a heck of a lot of damage to its image in that time.

    Never mind.. they're based in HK.

    Operation NIGHTCRAWLER is the Navy's toughest onshore training mission designed to separate the men from the boys in an urban survival mission that serves as the ultimate test of stamina, commitment and survival skills.

    It is an all-night operation that includes various refuel assignments along a hard and treacherous route through the dense urban jungle of Hong Kong.

    The mission traditionally ends with a training session the following morning at Stanley Main Beach.

    Completing Operation NIGHTCRAWLER successfully is one of the highest achievable non-combat honors in the Navy and a general requirement for career advancement.
