At Annapolis, 13 separate affinity groups are listed including Black Studies, Chinese culture, and Native American cultures. A whole month is devoted to “pride” of those attracted to the same sex while ignoring the 70% of the straight, Christian members who abhor what their faith teaches is wrong. That is not how you promote unity. Demeaning the faith of a majority of the military is both wrong and stupid.

and there it is...

"...That is not how you promote unity..."

Which is exactly the point of this excellent piece.

And what classes were bumped for that garbage? I thought movies where the protagonists kept needing their therapist’s advice were comedies but I fear we have an entire generation of officers just as wussified. (I get extra credit for replacing the ‘P’ with a ‘W’.)

My father graduated from the US Merchant marine Academy at Kings Point just after WW II. He spent years at sea as a merchant marine officer and two years in the US Navy during the Korean War. Even in that era, he found the Navy's seamanship to be weak compared to that of the US merchant vessels he served on.

As the modern woke curriculum indicates, Annapolis graduates Naval officers, while Kings Point graduates mariners. Recently, the Navy even turned to Kings Point for help in restoring celestial navigation courses to Annapolis.

A remedy for the US Navy's weaknesses in seamanship obviously must include purging out wokeness, but more will be required. A good quick solution would be to offer Kings Point graduates a year or so training as naval officers, with rapid career advancement afterwards. This would have to be imposed from above as the US Navy's pride would otherwise forbid such a move.
