"On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.

But there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships."

Would it be provincial to expect an American Political Party to use a photo of American Military Assets in their tribute to veterans?

That's funny. Perhaps they didn't realize other nations had Warships. I mean, if you see an impressive looking fleet it has got to be ours right? :sneaky:

Maybe Paul Ryan gave them the pic? He has a hard time with the truth.

I like this message.. that is cutting defense spending by buying second hand Russian military surplus goods. It's a win-win for all.

That's really funny. In all probability an honest mistake by some intern somewhere but SOOO funny. XD

Just apologize to the right people for it and move on. Sheesh.

well duh. I don't think anyone (well a few idiots) are going to think it was done intentionally. It's just a huge idiotic mistake.

funny as hell though. Also amazing that someone didn't take a few minutes to figure out if those were US warships.

They need a public apology to the Men and Women of the Navy.

if this would have happened at the other convention, the libtard's circle jerk over it would have lasted weeks...

Republicans showing the wrong military hardware at their convention would be like the Democrats having only old white guys on stage.

Whoever is responsible for this must be held accountable, this is disgusting how they could do this. Just another reason to kick out the democraps from this country

If Russians built crap like that ISU-152 that sat for 70 years and took a couple of hours to get it running and drivable we would never have to buy military hardware again!

Ouch! Hopefully folks at the DNC have now learned that when buying a stock photo for something important, you have to find out where it's been used before and verify it shows what you think it shows. Dumb mistake.

I bet you'll never vote Democratic again because of this, right?
