Utterly damning. I would ask what the hell has happened to my Navy but I know perfectly well what the hell has happened to it. It was only a matter of time before it started getting people killed, and between this fiasco and the McCain we have 17 young sailors dead. This sort of job is a meritocracy, and if it isn’t supported as such by command it becomes it when people die. The Navy has been systematically poisoned by people with priorities other than operational effectiveness, and unfortunately some of them are wearing uniforms, and even more unfortunately they aren’t the ones doing the dying.
Yes meritocracy is to be the basis for promotion and responsibility, and the contrary principal that the overriding factor is an amoral aspect as race is a product of the 60's incremental revolution.
Which has it roots with the devil, whose original premise in the original (occupy (the Throne) movement was that God needs to "share the wealth" with the devil based upon the latter's estimation that it was his right. (Isaiah 14:14) Which is what he (as the original Leftist) likewise worked to seduced Eve with, inculcating the victim-entitlement mentality justify rebellion against God's economy. (Genesis 3) With the devil's goal being that of creating a world in which he is worshiped, as he is thru proxy servants today, in which world are his perversions of what God ordained, for he seeks to be like God in power ang glory, climbing up some other way as a thief. (Jn. 10:1)
I know this is a spiritual perspective, but,
we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12. KJV)
