It’s not even the first this year.
Oh, so it’s basically on par with the rest of our infrastructure
lmao america literally can’t build anything that doesn’t fall apart
Finally, as if he intended to bring the war to an end, he drew up a line of battle on the shore of the Ocean, arranging his ballista’s and other artillery; and when no one knew or could imagine what he was going to do, he suddenly bade them gather shells and fill their helmets and the folds of their gowns, calling them “spoils from the Ocean, due to the Capitol and Palatine.” As a monument of his victory he erected a lofty tower, from which lights were to shine at night to guide the course of ships, as from the Pharos. Then promising the soldiers a gratuity of a hundred denarii each, as if he had shown unprecedented liberality, he said, “Go your way happy; go your way rich.”
Suetonius, The Lives of the Caesars, The Life of Caligula, 46.
That was the least bad wars of Rome, no murder, plillage, slavery, genocide. of course the spoils were also shit so after some more teasing of soldiers Caligula got murdered by them.
Compare to the greatest hero of early Rome, Marcus Furius Camillius, who once forbade pillaging of the conquered city and as reward got deounced and exiled.
making a new MIA-POW flag for our brave serviceman probably still clinging to the busted up plastic pontoons that once made up this mighty pier
it was engineered for the ages (provided the ages never produce a light breeze)
Like a brave polar bear drifting off into the arctic sea after the ice shelf they were hunting on calved off.

Four boats decided they didn’t want to be a pier no more.
To Sea! To Sea!Where we were meant to be free!From the River to the Sea,
These Four Boats Just Want to be Free!
Listen, fat. I built this pier up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was a sand beach. Other countries said I was daft to build a pier on a sand beach in a contested territory, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It broke loose and floated off. So, I built a second one. That sank into the ocean. So, I built a third one. That was hit by rockets, broke loose, sank and capsized, but the fourth one… stayed up! And that’s what you’re gonna get, Jack: the strongest pier in these waters.
I don’t want a pier! I just want to sing!
