Do any of these idiots that think this is such a great idea ever spend time on a sub?

They don't think it's a great idea but they won't speak out unless they are retired. I know a retired colonel who I talk to regularly at the dog park I frequent. He an extremely nice guy and very candid. What he has told me is that officers are extremely unlikely to cross swords with politicians because it can end their careers. This is particularly true after you reach the rank of Brigadier or Rear Admiral. They want to get their time in and collect their retirement pay at full amount. We've seen presidents end the career of senior military men on a number of occasions.

I suspect that all the Navy brass think this is a terrible idea. I'd be willing to bet that 90% think women on surface warships is a bad idea. But none of them will say this. If you want real opinions, ask the officers after they retire and then they will tell you the truth.

Nowadays don’t you think it would be nice to find a few men of honor who would resign or retire rather than be party to the destruction of our national security ?!
