[1954 - USS Nautilus (SSN-571), first nuclear-powered ship, is commissioned]

Little Polly Flinders

Little Private Flinders,
Went among Iraqi prisoners,
Thumbing her pretty little nose.

Inspector General came and caught her,
And court martialed his little daughter
For the Iraqis were wearing no clothes.

The Judges gave her three years.
For Lynndie shed you no tears.
Her guilt those pictures disclose.

The Secretary he remains blameless.
The Generals and Colonels are nameless,
And the Emperor is wearing no clothes.

William's Whimsical Words:

How many years do you suppose Unca Donald will get for his malfeasance?
