When I was a young man I wanted to join the Navy but my hearing handicap ruled me out as a suitable candidate. Its funny how my country enlists traitors but wanted nothing of the likes of me when she could have had me serve. I would have served honorably. I guess with the likes of Pablo Paredes, our military has received exactly the candidates they deserve. They should stop complaining about being surprised by such recruits.

I don't think we deserve this type of individual. I'm sorry the Navy wouldn't take you when you volunteered, but that doesn't mean we deserve the likes of pablo. Besides, this guy was not a recruit. He had already served over a year on a ship that was forward deployed to Japan. He didn't have any problem serving then. It wasn't until he got orders to the USS BONHOMME RICHARD - which was scheduled to deploy to the Gulf soon after his report-no-later-than date -, did he all-of-a-sudden choose to become a c.o.
