Chief Of Naval Operations: "I Have Not Yet Begun To Be Woke"
The Constitutional Conservatives ^ | June 19, 2021 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 06/19/2021 7:00:04 PM PDT by raptor22

Or should his title be chief of navel-gazing operations? Someone should tell Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michael Gilday that he has just one job – to manage and deploy the ships of the United States Navy in such a way to guarantee our freedom of the seas and to deny the enemy the use of those seas to attack the United States, sending enemy fleets to the bottom of those seas if necessary in time of war.

He is a military warrior. He is not a social justice warrior. Diversity to him, if I may be so bold as to use a gender pronoun, should be the proper mix of aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers and submarines needed to fight America’s naval battles and project American power to defend our homeland and our allies. China and Russia don’t fear the diversity of our crews or the ethnicity and gender of the finger that launches that Tomahawk missile only their ability to fight and win battles.

But no, instead of preparing our fleets for battle, Admiral Gilday is damning the torpedoes and going full speed ahead on pushing critical race theory on the Navy by putting a book espousing critical race theory on the Navy’s reading list for sailors. His recent testimony before Congress shows us the trouble we’re in”

Same here - but this jackanape couldn’t even answer basic questions asked by Rep Luria regarding LCS and decommissioning of 17 ships in the next year. Worst performance I’ve ever seen by any Admiral testifying in Congress. His staff must be worse than he is.

I intend to send a nice note in response to the NMCRS letter they send every year.

A bit off topic, not by much.
Any word on Jeff Head? This is a topic he would be following. Last I’ve read his cancer has taken a turn for the worst.

Well, it IS the navy, after all.

When Obama became president, I remember reading about how he was hollowing out the ranks of the military. He purged the warrior Generals and kept the lefties. He also made it difficult for officer in the middle ranks to be promoted, so they would retire. This left the young, woke and left leaning officers to rise up and assume command. I think this is a big reason why we have the military we do today.

THIS

As accurate a summary as I have seen in a while.

Indeed...great book. One of my favorites. That name came up on another thread recently, but in the same context.

I hope by the time my nephew’s hitch is over the VA will be offering deprogramming therapy.

Friendly suggestion to sailors. Be the first in line to get the book on CRT. At 0330, toss it overboard.

I have a relative in the USN and he’s counting the days left in his enlistment. He’s disgusted by the Marxist ideology he’s encountered and is furious at the blood and treasure it’s going to cost if we get into a shooting war with the chicoms. Had he known he was entering a Marxist social experiment he would never have considered the US military, any branch of the service.

Bring i back,

Keelhauling (Dutch kielhalen; “to drag along the keel”) is a form of punishment and potential execution once meted out to sailors at sea. ... The common supposition is that keelhauling amounted to a sentence of either death by extreme torture, or minimally a physical trauma likely to permanently maim.

Ding ding ding.

You hit the nail on the head: Obama Purged and the SJWs Surged.

I did...I recall I didn’t care for it, which was surprising, because I guess I thought he would be perfect for that part!

I remember how Limbaugh totally ignored this issue but made friends with Sir Elton.
