I hate it that we put civilian appointees over our military. Most are not even veterans, nor have most ever even shown a glimmer of patriotism. One disaster currently in the making is that Obambi is going to make John Kerry Secretary of the Navy. There isn’t a less deserving candidate in the country. It was a Senate committee led by Kerry and John McCain that shut down any hope of ever bringing our POWs home. They listened to testimony of viable sightings of POWs but discredited anything the POW families had to say. It was disgraceful to watch, and to think that John McCain who had be a POW himself would turn his back on those we left behind. But now this, to put a military-hater like Kerry in charge of our Navy makes me sick. He will do everything in his power to destroy our Navy.
I doubt Kerry will ever be Secy of the Navy. If, for no other reason, being a U.S. Senator is a more ‘prestigious’ position and, since Kerry is from MA, it’s more ‘for life’ than a federal judicial appointment. A Secy of the Navy would leave after this Administration. Unless Kerry is planning to wind down his career, it’s not likely he’d take that position.
