They were heading out to the middle of the bay - the Gulf - that's another thing that became kind of standard practice, we didn't hurry the destroyers around the beach any more, when it got dark, we'd take 'em out thirty or forty miles out in the middle of the Tonkin Gulf.
James Stockdale

The economic recession in America wasn't caused by bad luck; it was caused by bad Republican policies.
