will never happen with the Left’s lawfare persecution of him in perpetuity.
That ain’t my Navy.
What if I self identify as a sea urchin?
The Russians and Chinese are laughing their @sses off.

I thought it was the British colonial navy that was characterized by rum, sodomy and the lash.
Instead of surrendering boats to Iran and running ships into merchant traffic, the US Navy needs to spend more time on SEAMANSHIP and WARRIOR ETHOS, than this crap.
The Battle of Samar was not won by diversity and inclusivity.
No one - not even the Sec'y of the Navy - is telling me with whom I must associate in my private life.
