| The Navy – It's Not a Job, It's a Total Cluster |
| 2017-09-08 |
| [US Defense Watch] The US Navy, the mighty and heroic service that beat the tar out of America’s enemies for 240 years; the force that won brilliant victories at Midway, Manila Bay, Leyte Gulf, Lake Erie and a thousand other places is no more. The US Navy that refused to surrender and ’had not begun to fight’ under the leadership of John Paul Jones, is now too incompetent to fight anyone; and every American should be seriously concerned. To paraphrase Oliver Perry, "We have met the enemy and it is cultural Marxism and social engineering." The latest debacle to engulf the Navy was reported yesterday in a myriad of media outlets, including US Defense Watch. |

| #3 #2 no major collisions between naval air assets lately so at least the air side may be maintaining competence Posted by: lord garth 2017-09-08 15:59 Sadly, that's because flying hours have been cut back because of budget and maintenance cuts. Mike |

| #1 I spent 10.5 years in U. Sam's Navy. I exited because I wanted a stable family. When my sub went into upkeep, 5% of the crew were married. The number increased to 95% after refueling and returned to 5% after first deployment. 3months in and 3m out. The surface Navy is even worse. God bless our sailors and I hope the brass get their heads out of their sanitary tank. |
