Re “Has the rot gone that deep that someone thinks they can do this in the service”?
Apparently you haven’t been following the PC/pansy career of the Secy of the Navy. He’s the worst SecyNav I’ve ever heard of.
Considering that I’ve had the honor to meet and lunch with such great men as Adm. John McCain Jr (CINCPAC/VN); Arleigh Burke; Dan Galley; and other Navy greats, I can say that Mabus is the worst Secy of any Military Department in modern history and one of the stupidest on top.
And the rest of the DOD isn’t much better (Dempsey, Secy AF (the PC crowd); the Marine Corps until recently - got a new guy who seems to be a fight; and some of the Army - look at how the combat commanders have been driven out or charged with various things to the point that we have very few veteran senior commanders left).
Thank God that former head of DIA Gen. Michael Flynn is talking back to the PC aholes, liberal know-nothings, and Marxist traitors. The same for former CIA director James Woolsey, but the rest of the bunch are either for Obama/Hillary or are too cowardly to tell America what is really happening to our military and how it is systematically being degraded or diminished by too expensive/low performance super craft.
I’m glad that my father-in-law died before a lot of this shit happened. He was not only a veteran of Iwo but also wasone of the highest ranking Intelligence officers in Europe during the Cold War.
He knew who the enemy was and fought them tooth and nail. And I know that he ran a tight outfight. Mens’ lives, including his own, depended on him being “the best”, not the most “PC”.
Thanks MadMax...I guess I have been following it, but I am surprised that the “rank and file” think this is something they can do-it is appalling to me.
I fully understand the weasels in charge, but it didn’t occur to me that they would go so far as to allow this, even if they are pouring acid on everything they can from a systemic perspective.
I find this deeply disturbing. I feel the same way about my father that you do about your father-in-law...I am glad I don’t have to see his face or hear his voice as he would have confronted these bits of ‘news’. (as much as I would love to see his face and hear his voice...”
