#2 I didn't even bother to read it. I'd imagine "more drag queen storytime" is high on the list.

#3 When it comes to culture, Del Toro wrote that “every Sailor and Marine of all races, genders, religions and ethnicities must treat one another with dignity and respect,” and that such behavior ensures combat readiness. He called climate change an issue that “exacerbates every challenge we face, from naval installations to frequent deployments.

#5 China, culture, climate and COVID.

Well, in terms of reality and this administration, two outta four isn't bad. Trouble is that in practice China will go straight to the back of the line and stay there.

#6 I was never in the Navy, but I did live in dormitories for 8 years (private high school, college) dignity and respect were not on the table. I have trouble imagining the Navy as being any better in that regard.

#7 What he addressing the theatric version of The Navy, like a touring Broadway show? Or was this the fighting Navy, the military version?

#8 Left out the most important C that’s should be over all others: Combat effectiveness and readiness. Nothing else matters if you don’t have that.

#9 Well, when it stops being a value proposition, we'll stop paying for it.

#12 Do I look like the kinda chowderhead that'd take candy from a guy that wrote that?

#15 Thanks, dron. [pockets toffee for proper disposal later... chomp chomp chomp] Also...

A tower cum red and white dome
Loomed over the old Soldiers' Home
Till it got in the way
And was toppled one day,
But the bubbes all missed it. Well, some.

#16 True story, btw: Jewish old ladies' home practically in the shadow of the rusty old thing (which was visible from, and loved by, pretty much everything in Boston that had a soul).
