Navy trying to outdo the Army’s “Army of One” stupid slogan?
Be sure, it was a civilian who came up with that slogan, no real Navy military type would come up with something so PC.

My husband was shocked at my dislike of the ad. I am a vet and I detest seeing our protectors castrated. Maybe my fellow freeper was right, the warrior class is dead. In my soul I do not believe that. I think they are worn out and destroyed fighting for folks who do not want to be free, I include the coasts of the US in that category.
haha — don’t give up the ship, it might hurt the environment. Good one
