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?
Shove it! Admiral Zumalt was a freak. The bell-bottom stuff WAS trivia. So was much of his agendas.
