By the way, my intent is not to criticize the Navy. Google Danzig, Navy and Culture and you’ll see that Dick Danzig explicitly set out to crack a culture in the Navy. He did it; I don’t think the a guy like Jeremiah Denton or Bull Halsey could ever make 4 stars now. If you’re in the Navy btw, you’re no doubt fully aquainted with the affirmative action program at Annapolis.
I agree with the very top being liberal, but I do believe the Sailors tend to be conservative. It does surprise me that some of the changes happening in the Navy. I was stationed in Annapolis in late 90’s and they had AA program then. It is the only way to have a diversity at the Academy. The colleges are trying to get the African Americans and Hispanics so the Academy has to compete with that.
