I don’t know anything about Mabus’ background but he’s a fool or worse.
I call he the Secretary of the Queen’s Navy with an emphasis on “Queen”. I wouldn’t trust this guy with a rubber duck in a bathhouse, er bath tub.
The only ship he should command would be the USS Fairy Fey.
The same for former Adm. Kirby, the rectal mouthpiece over at the State Department.
Having met brave, battle experienced leaders from WW2 through Vietnam and OIF (Maxwell Taylor, Adm. Dan Galley, Adm. John McCain CINCOMPAC VN & WW2, Adm. Arleigh Burke, Robin Olds, Col. Bud Day and Adm. Jeremiah Denton, Gen. Bruce Jacobson IWO/Army transports, my father-in-law (Iwo), Gen. Chappie James, Gen. John Singlaub WW2 Jedburgs/VN SOG, and Gen. Tommy Franks (OIF), among many others), I feel that our present military leaders (with a few honorable and fired exceptions) are political hacks, cowards, and wimps.
Mabus is the worst but the others from the AF, Marines, and even the Army are not far behind.
Hell, I met So. Vietnamese ARVN and Cambodian Generals who had more balls than our present DOD cowards.
What a sad and tragic state of affairs Obama the Commie has brought upon America with his willing fools and Marxist stooges.
Amen
