even if the navy survives ray mabus, it will take decades to undo the damage that the administration’s butt boy has done to the world’s former greatest navy.

...it will take decades to undo the damage

With proper leadership, it can be done ahead of schedule and under budget.

Not if Trump gets elected president. He will rebuild the US military, including the Navy. That’s why over 80 generals and admirals are supporting him.

Here is the actual letter and the names of the generals who signed it:

If Trump wins it will take decades? Why so long?

Are military jobs like union jobs? Very hard to let someone go? Serious question.

“Not if Trump gets elected president. He will rebuild the US military, including the Navy.”

Except Trump has no interest in reversing liberal social policies in the military. He’s a social liberal himself.

Trump can and should sack the entire Joint Chiefs the first day January 20, 2017 between the inauguration ceremony and the balls. He should also sign numerous XO’s eliminating all of Obama’s XO’s with the idea that he must repair the insanity and downfall of America and wipe the mistake of BHO out.

Trump's military advisers know who must go and who must be asked to return. Many have left explicitly because of Obama and his nonsense.

the Joint Chiefs informed Congress last week that, the United States military is not ready to confront a peer-level threat such as Russia or China in a high-end conflict.

Does anyone have a solid link to this? I would think Trump could win the election on that issue alone...

“...Not aware that she was pregnant...”

Does not inspire confidence in the crew’s situational awareness.

I have always been grateful that I retired from the Navy before they allowed women aboard a man of war. They probably can’t call them that now anyway. I suppose now they are non-gender specific persons of kinetic operations.

Seriously.
I was walking off my ship and down the pier for the last time as they were refitting the USS PELELIU berthing areas for women.
Dodged a bullet there!

Thanks for the transcript, I just read it. I meant to watch that talk, but I’ve been just so busy lately not much time to sit and listen.

I saw no mention of enforcing liberal social policies.... nor ever heard any mention of such, I’ve read all his position papers, read many transcripts, listened to as many speeches and rallies as I could, and read one book. I want to read his latest one.
