See, that proves my point.

The XO writing the Fitness Report couldn’t spell it so how can he teach it?

Then again, what do I know, I was a Radioman...<: <:

My Mattis needle (from what I’ve seen in the media) is still at 0 on the 1-10 scale, and threatening to move into negative territory.

Sorry, as much as you might not like it, the author makes some valid points. Planting your head in the sand will not make a cesspool into a crystal clear mountain spring. We need to keep our eyes open, see problems where they exist and correct those problems,

On second thought, I posted mine as a 3. He is very disappointing.

You have US Navy experience?
Did you sail for Uncle Sam?

What do you know about the US Navy or it’s capabilities?
Do you have any direct experience?

You speak authoritatively, like you actually have some direct experience at sea.

Which I doubt.

No, I was a ground pounder and have never been in the Navy. I also have never been in Venezuela but know that it is crumbling under massive socialist mismanagement.

Enjoy your role as a “Baghdad Bob” for the US Navy,

Your expressed derision exposes your abject ignorance.

I know the Navy is weak, like the rest of our armed forces. So, stop spinning. Worst of all, our enemies know we’re weak. We have gutless leaders who have let the military go down the drain for the last 25 years.

The article is not an indictment of the military’s enlisted personnel, who only do their best and expect the best from their leaders, who, at the senior level aren’t worth a farthing.

The USN can sink both the PLAN and the Russian Navy, at the same time.

This can be proven by the fact you’re still able to continue with your inane conjecture.

Try a little research, even learn from many of your fellow freepers who actually know something about Naval power and capabilities.

Ping the resident expert, Jeff Head.
