I know an ex-admiral....one of the finest human beings and decent guys I’ve come across. He earned his flag rank for putting so much ordinance and supplies on Diego Garcia prior to Gulf 1 that it almost sank. I’m sure there are some admirals in the navy (only 216 in all by the way) who are a little shaky, but I doubt many are worthy of the turd pile. The most interesting thing I learned from this article was that Kirby reported to a civilian P.R. person.

216 is too many.

Think about how many ships we have.

Rank inflation is a major problem.

Sometimes it’s worth getting through the first couple of sentences to find a little nugget.
Hard to believe an Admiral answering to a p.r. person.
No chance for a easy conclusion to our existing condition.
I am embarrassed when I see an old vet and wonder how many of his friends died around him and how he must wonder “for this?” given our current state of affairs.
I know politicians, government and political corruption has always existed but the rate at which it has accelerated these last 6 years is hard to fathom.
Does the populace have no will to force our leaders to lead with integrity? Do we have no will to fight back?
God help us if we just accept this stuff with no objections and are whisked off into the abyss.
