The PRCs and Ruskies are laughing all the way to our next stolen election.

The military MUST have unity, not diversity. At least all of us who served in time of war were taught that. When you get in combat, you better not worry about the feelings of your shipmates or fellow soldiers, airmen. Trump needs to get elected to fire all of the brass and bring in real sailors and soldiers to replace them.

Soon they will have to take the ultimate oath of faith to "science" and their leaders by giving up their health to prove loyalty.

This while the Joint chief of staff General Milley makes reports on how the Climate change and white rage will decimate the planet based on his "science."

Is the American media running with this story??

If so, they will make Trump’s doing.

This is a clear indicator of failed leadership.

And it spans multiple administrations.

ALL of these problems start at the top. All of them.

I’m guessing that we will see Navy ships running into things again.

The complete degredation of our US military began with the Clinton Administration and the Tailhook scandal.

What an indictment of Navy leadership and Congress. Things sound absolutely terrible and we'd get our ass whipped in no time at all in a real conflict.

Page 7 -- This Lt finally comes out and says it: "Sailors increasingly see administrative and non-combat related training as the mission, rather than the mission itself. 'Sometimes I think we care more about whether we have enough diversity officers than if we’ll survive a fight with the Chinese navy,' lamented one lieutenant currently on active duty. 'It’s criminal. They think my only value is as a black woman. But you cut our ship open with a missile and we’ll all bleed the same color.'"

Any military in peace time tends to focus on things that would be irrelevant in war time. Unfortunately, you go to war with your peace time military. The two Navy captains I knew, both academy grads, we’re extraordinary a-holes. I would have hated going to war under their command.

Worked for the DoD for 30 years (retired 12/31/2019) at a facility that among other things reworked and overhauled F-18 Hornets and power plants and other USN aircraft.
Saw my share promotions and advancement in the name of racial equality.

2 things I’m surprised never happened because of that:

1. That our facility was as productive as it was.

2. I’m shocked we never had a fatal incident in regards to aircrew.

No Conservative would allow their child to join the military today. It’s like sending them for Cannon Fodder. Let the Left defend this nation with their blood now.
Think they will?

There IS NO FIGHTING CULTURE in todays “modern military”, all the WARRIORS are either booted out or took early retirement.

What’s left are only those interested in which is the best medical facility to have their bastard babies or have their pecker chopped off, because they FEEEEELLLL like a woman.

These include: an insufficient focus on warfighting skills, the perception of a zerodefect mentality accompanied by a culture of micromanagement, and over-sensitivity and responsiveness to modern media culture.

Ya think?

The sailors interviewed for this report do not believe the Navy prioritizes fighting and winning because Navy leaders do not talk about fighting and winning.

Oh, so just like RINOs the Navy leadership are losers.

The good news is that if the citizens revolt against the commies, the military will be unable to stop it.

Tonight on FNC Special Report, Bill Bennett commented Chinese Navy vs U.S. Navy is deadly serious issue. Bret Baier’s closing remark to Bennett was ‘don’t know what ‘newspapers’ you’re reading’.

Sent tweet to Baier to read National Defense Magazine article on Eagle vs Dragon and pointed out that Sen Cotton was on FNC America Reports in June to talk about our Navy’s preparedness. Told Baier his comment to Bennett was disrespectful and ignorant and suggested he apologize to Bennett.
