I served on a carrier as part of the air wing in the Red Sea and Persian gulf in the 91 gulf war. We go in harms way to protect armchair admirals like yourself. Does that answer your question? Those of us who serve aren’t looking for places to hide.
Allendale’s post sounds familiar. It’s common of the “Zoomies,” the Air Force, presently serving, or retired, to depict the Navy in that light. As far back as WW2, Air Force generals were saying, “when you’ve got a great Air Force, why even have a Navy?” Their planes and pilots being so much more superior to Naval Aviation.
Makes you wonder, if Allendale is a “zoomie.”
I fully agree with your comment.
(I served in Catapults on a carrier during the Cold War.)
