You heard what the Secretary of the Navy said, right? He said the books the SEALS are writing are so poorly written that he’s going to start requiring Advanced Writing Classes (AWC) for all SEALS right after BUDS training. You get through BUDS and you’re going to have to pass AWC.

Secy of the Navy Mabus is the biggest idiot and pussy of all our of military department secretaries. He’s allowing our Navy to get down to its lowest ship level in over 50 years, and not saying a word of protest.

He is the PROBLEM, not part of the solution.

They should have learned to write before they even got out of high school. I used to teach junior-level college students. Writing case studies was an important part of the class. I was appalled to find they couldn't write, even at the junior level. Not only should they have learned to write before they entered my class, they should have learned to write before they left high school.

I can’t claim the honor of having met many SEALs, but every special ops guy I’ve known was highly, highly intelligent.
