There has been upset after the U.S. Navy tweeted an historical image depicting American sailors killing troops under the Ottoman flag.
The navy tweeted the celebratory message to mark its 241st anniversary Thursday. A caption on the image read: “American Sailors tough, bold, ready” -- each adjective was also represented by a picture.
One of these pictures depicted a scene from the Barbary Wars, the two conflicts in 1804 and 1815 between the U.S., Sweden and North African nations called Barbary states.
