If its true that this sub stalked the carrier group without us knowing; should be cause for immediate removal of the fleet admiral, the carrier group commander as well as the carrier's commander ASAP.
The problem is likely not the personnel deployed. Its the lack of capabilities they have been left with as we continue pell-mell unilateral disarmament...decommissioning subs and planes and ships right and left.
We have explicitly continued Xlinton's Defense Holiday. Funding for Iraq operations ...does nothing to address the imploding U.S. navy situation.
And so who do you need to look at to address that issue? Frankly, the rot is a lot higher paygrade than you have mentioned so far. A lot higher.
And their problem is that they don't take to heart President Thomas Jefferson's observation:
We confide in our strength, without boasting of it; we respect that of others without fearing it.Sorry to say, a whole slew of people in politics, academia, the media, and even the military have fallen prey to failing to respect adversaries...and it is simply insane. It is also UNAMERICAN. A true American practices Eternal Vigilence to safeguard our liberty.
Thomas Jefferfson, 1793
