It’s worth remembering that the navy started WWII without a working torpedo and nearly every aircraft in our arsenal was a hopeless joke.
Even without wokeness, our military is a cornucopia of perfumed princes in peacetime whose corruption is exceeded only by their incompetence. And wokeness has utterly institutionalized that corruption and incompetence to the point that the corrupt and incompetent are indignantly self righteous.
At the outbreak of WWII we had General George C. Marshall. Now we have Gen. Mark Milley. The difference between those two men in that office is stunning.
