Admiral Elmo was a total loser as CNO. He spent a lot of time on trivia. I think he was the one who was hung up on doing away with the traditional bell-bottom navy uniforms.
This fawning post of him is disgusting.
You need to adjust your brain housing group, grandma. I provided background on the author and mentioned he was the son of the former CNO. Nowhere is Elmo Jr. fawned over. The fact that Elmo Zumwalt Jr. was a piss poor CNO for a number of reasons more pertinent than whether or not squids wore bell bottoms, isn't germane. LtCol Zumwalt isn't responsible for the actions of Admiral Zumwalt. Understand, gomer?
