Mattis needs to get to a serious house cleaning. Personnel and proceedures.

From what I’ve heard and seen, I give Mattis a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10.

I was in the Navy and met a wonderful group of amazing, competent people; sailors and Marines who are the “salt of our Nation”! This is a leadership problem based in the cancer of liberalism which needs to be exorcised.

You don’t have to read any further than that to know this guy is full of shit and his article worthless.

Hit a nerve? No worries, this is the way some other services have viewed the navy for some time.

Marines are NOT in the navy.

Navy department, the men's department.

Yes... for example

ENS John Q Public can’t read a sexton, is terrible in math, but he has 5 gays in his division, one cross dresser and he holds sensitivity seminars.

Good...Give him a meritorious promotion to LTJG.

We don’t have to worry about the Sailor thingys.

The Navy is making shoddy sailors by focusing on issues that have nothing to do with war fighting.

I wonder if the author has been reading FR? It's simple. There's only so much training time. If an hour is taken up by diversity training and toleration drills for sexual deviates then it's an hour lost to ship-handling. It's a zero-sum game. COs' careers used to live and die by grades at REFTRA. Now it's grades in Advanced Social Theory. In the civilian world misplaced priorities such as this result in falling profit margins and employee turnover. In Naval operations they kill people, and they have killed people, and the people responsible are not being held responsible. The social engineers ought to hang, and they'll walk because they're now in charge.

Well, maybe a Liberal/Socialist-run Navy doesn’t operate very well, but at least we know Liberal/Socialistic policies work well in other countries....like Cuba, North Korea, Ven...

Any screen shots of the US Navy crew held by the Iranians? Maybe a nice one of the ‘ sailor ‘ wearing an Islamic scraf or hijab. Maybe one of the sailor crying on Iranian television?

Yes, I was being generous. Actually about a 3.

I saw him giving a pep talk to some troops and was not impressed. I initially thought we had another Patton type but that sure didn’t happen.

I bet everybody in the fleet is 100% current on their sexual harassment, tranny integration and homo pride training.

Wouldn’t continual time at sea actually hone skills

There'd be plenty of time for honing skills with a 6 month remedial boot camp for everyone on board. Get their heads out of their boots.

I'm an old Army guy who knows basically nothing about the Navy.However,it's my understanding that there's a serious problem today that's unique to the Navy.That is...when a Naval vessel of whatever type sets sail on a "cruise" it's typical for a huge percentage of the women on board to be pregnant by the end of the "cruise".

I wonder if there's anyone who's recently served in the Navy who can confirm or refute this belief of mine.
