I agree, but I’ve watched the navy frontrun the rest of the services for years on “progressive” social issues. Spent a portion of my army time in Panama, and we used naval gunfire and USMC Colt teams in joint operations all the time. I have a great deal of respect for each of the services, but the navy brass is making it harder and harder to respect the judgment of that branch’s senior leadership. Plus whenever a ship runs aground, you read about it. Can’t say the same thing for every time a regimental commander gets lost in the woods and captured by the OPFOR during a training exercise.
