The U.S. Navy has long maintained high standards for all its personnel. Those who fall short of these standards are held accountable…

All of a sudden, this batch has fallen short of standards?

Improper pronoun usage.

Maybe new standards are falling short.

I am guessing something to do with non acceptance of fags.

Can’t wait to hear the rest of the story. Everything else is idle speculation.

The sailor and the Casertas believe Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Russell Smith should also be fired, following controversial remarks he made during an address to a fragile crew

Fragile crew?

The Navy fires COs, XOs and CMCs all the time. Nothing new.

It's a joke when we get our command photos taken, "Smile! This pic is what will be on the cover of Navy Times!" (aka "Navy Crimes")

Fake news!

Stalinists are not bound by law or cultural rules to explain themselves and their actions...

Serfs just need to continue to:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

And yet, not a single damn flag officer has been fired or even reprimanded for the Charlie-Fox bugout from Afghanistan.

Oh, no doubt some of these officers deserved the chop. I’ve heard reliable scuttlebutt that at least one of those fired was having a sexual relationship with an E3 sailor on his ship, but I suspect that at least some of the others were canned because they were too popular and effective rather than the opposite.

It seems the Navy does not want leaders these days. They want reliable managers who will not make waves or stand out.

Using wrong pronouns will trigger brass? Maybe standards are now woke and deviation is a firing offense?

If they ever regain power, the Republicans had better reopen the discharge cases brought against ALL senior officers who were dismissed under Obama and Biden.

Yes, their safe rooms were violated by an inspection and the petting puppies had to walk the plank. Besides that the milk was too tepid. Not addressing them by their desired pronouns and withholding their gold stars awarded for showing up was the last straw.

Our neo-marxist political leaders have politicized the military and are purging generals and captains, while they stupidly maneuver themselves into wars.

Where have I seen this before?
