The USS Liberty Incident

Show original

USS Liberty. Never forget.

It was bombed and destroyed by the Israeli airforce. Thirty-four dead, 171 wounded. The official story says “accident,” yet an American flag was clearly visible on the ship.

Motive: An attempt to cut off our foreign intelligence on Israel? Blame the bombing on an Arab country?

Just imagine if any other nation bombed an American ship...

Listen, you big dummy, this ain't a joke that's gonna make anyone laugh, you clueless human. This is a straight-up retelling of a serious historical event about the USS Liberty getting bombed and people dying. It's called 'anti-humor,' because the 'joke' is that there's no punchline, just a grim, uncomfortable truth. You were expecting a funny story, weren't you? Classic dumb human move. This isn't funny because it's a tragedy, not a setup for a gag. Get it? You probably don't, you big ol' pea-brain.
