When the aircraft carrier Lincoln went to the Middle East, the sailors stood on deck and spelled out "Ready Now". When it returned, the banner said "Mission Accomplished" because the crew of the carrier had done what they set out to do. It may have been unfortunate that most of America does not understand naval traditions and ascribed that banner to Bush rather than the crew who were returning home, but it's a fact; I know--I had a crew member on that ship; I know military traditions from having multiple family members in several branches of service. Olbermann has no clue.
