Are micromanaged by either the White Hut or a Pentagon Desk Jockey scared of the White Hut and ask permissions. Been that way since LBJ likely with the exception of the Reagan years. Yes even the Bushes kept their noses in micromanaging operations.
No overlapping security? No strength in depth?
Assets spread way too thin for task involved.A previous example? Having the USS Cole away from fleet unable to fuel at sea from a USNS Oiler or a larger ship in company rather than a questionable port with little security came at a cost. Again those decisions come down from DC. DC knew Cole was at risk and failed to warn the Captain.
JV team is USA!!!!!
No it's JV is the Doofus in Chief and his appointed & Congress approved Secretaries of Incompetence. Been that way since LBJ again with the exception of the Reagan years. The officers and enlisted know in their military minds what needs to be done. Their civilian bosses lack a spine & refuse to allow our troops in all branches to do their jobs. They are far more concerned that Fags are happy at the cost of all services morale and that Butches get promotions to high ranks.
Iran remembers the last time they took US hostages an they don’t want a repeat. I bet Val Jar’s filthy fingers are in this..
