When you enter a congested commercial sea lane at 20 knots (20 friggin’ knots!), and you’re a stupid affirmative action Junior Officer...bad things are certain to happen.
Everyone else is doing 10-12 knots and maintaining separation.
It’s like entering a freeway on-ramp at 125mph and crossing six lanes to get to the “fast lane”.
I’m sorry, I just can’t believe this CRAP!
“it appears the Navy ..... has trouble merely driving the ships.”
I mean, I LITERALLY don’t believe it. It just can’t be correct. Complete BULLSHIRT!
I know nothing about the Navy. (Army vet) Here is my guess. Too much time spent on “diversity training”. Not enough time spent on learning how to be a sailor. (Operation of the ship)
In the bathtub of Obama’s military, turds float ....
USAF here. Back when BJ Clinton was POTUS the DOD removed all regulation and replaced them with Instruction Manuals. Regs were considered written orders, IM’s were considered suggestions. The AF COS was more concerned with uniform changes than fighting war.
Obama’s DOD went so progressive it destroyed the ranks. Leaders were told if they refused to adjust, they would be removed. And they were. Most, if not all, of our warfighters jumped ship or retired. The armed forces lost all of thier experienced troops. These accidents are a direct result of horrible policy.
The military is so depleted of experience, they are activating the ready reserves. They are also asking prior military and retirees, with certian restrictions, to re-enter military service.
More NAVY hocum. You can’t handle the truth.
This is what happens when “diversity” is promoted over competent performance.
So they can be watch officers and OODs and Captains but can’t connect a f***ing ship?
How do you complete boot camp and NOT be qualified to go to sea? That used to be the point of it.
Disgusting. There needs to be a wholesale firing of admirals. There are more admirals than there are ships.
