If they were building 50 of them it would be big news..as it is they are token toys for and imaginary navy run by political hacks with more female and queer Admirals than ships.

Sigh.

I want to root for our Naval ships and crews to be well designed and fearsome to our foes in war, but like all the military services, they are being corroded from within by liberalism. I find it hard (even with my naval heritage) to feel any confidence or affection for my former service as it stands at this time.

And I know there are those who formerly served in the Army, Air Force and USMC who feel the same.

All I can hope for now is to find out, if the bullets start flying, that I was wrong about all of this, but I don’t think I am, and the shortcomings of our military are going to be blamed on everything ranging from funding to leadership, and not a single word will ever be spoken about women and open homosexuals on ships and in combat that we will see. The people responsible for this travesty would rather see the country come down in flaming ruins than to place even a smidgen of blame on their own liberal policies, though the people responsible for setting it in motion will likely be long gone at that time.

Sad.
