Has Mabus even piloted a row boat?

“We are stronger because of this integration. That is undeniably true.”

This is just ridiculous & as unlikely as it seems l hope Trump brings back don’t ask tell at the very least. The destruction of the US military is the most non reported story of Obongo’s reign.

No, but he has played RipTide on his iPhone. Does that count at combat?

Probably not, but he watched the movie Battleship once.

I’ll always remember fondly doing a float trip with the extended family in the Ozarks. I ended up in the bow of the canoe with my older brother, a graduate of Annapolis and former Navy officer. My 7 year old daughter was in the middle with the cooler that had our lunch.

We found ourselves swept into and up against a flat rock. The canoe slipped sideways and jammed against the rock. Anyone who has ever been in a canoe in a stream knows what happens next. Slowly and inexorably the canoe began to roll over and sink. I was yelling at my brother about what to do and he couldn’t even figure out port v starboard. He then confessed he had never been in a canoe before. I grabbed the lunch and put it on the rock. I then grabbed my daughter and put her on the rock. My daughter still gives me grief about grabbing the cooler first.

Yeah.

According to his Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Mabus), Mabus served as a Surface Warfare Officer on the USS Little Rock (CLG-4) from 1970-1972. Technically, a Vietnam War veteran. Since he only served two years, he probably got an early out to attend law school.

Personally, I rate him a first class TURD for the damage he has done to the Naval Services and for the particular contempt his actions have shown to the Commandant of the Marine Corps and the Marine Corps generally. My hope is he will receive contempt in return and in full measure.
