My first respect goes out to you grunts on the ground who have experienced so much loss of life and limb in our useless nation building.
However, you grunts should realize that in this age of sophisticated weaponry around the world, ships are floating coffins if hit in the wrong place. From the smallest Frigate to the largest Carrier, hundreds to thousands could go down. Yes, Navy has less direct combat risk, but at risk for higher casualties with just one missle or torpedo.
Hey guys, we're on the same team.
I'm not the team member praising Fancy Nancy.
