When Navy Rear Adm. Brian Fort stepped aboard the guided-missile destroyer Fitzgerald in the aftermath of the 2017 collision with a commercial cargo ship, everything was off. Any warship would seem a little off after a catastrophe that claimed the lives of seven sailors, but this was different.

“It didn’t look right, smell right, sound right,” Fort said during a hearing last year for a Fitzgerald officer facing court-martial in the wake of the June 17, 2017, disaster.

“There was debris everywhere,” Fort said under oath. “Food debris, food waste, uneaten food, half-eaten food, personal gear in the form of books, workout gear, workout bands, kettlebells, weightlifting equipment, the status boards had graffiti on them.” and, worse, sailors who had no idea how to use the technology.https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2019/01/14/the-ghost-in-the-fitzs-machine-why-a-doomed-warships-crew-never-saw-the-vessel-that-hit-it/?utm_source=clavis

What was the failure rate for the men in the class with the women? If it wasn’t comparable to previous classes, the standards were changed.

Reading about the Army Ranger School lowering their requirements has made me literally ill.

The Army leadership should be hung and quartered and those women who are taking credit for passing that ‘school,’ should be thrown out of the army. It is beyond hope that those women would have enough integrity to be ashamed at the fraud they committed with the assistance of the Army’s leadership.

Sheesh.

I am not at all for dropping physical or other standards to allow more women to pass into positions in the military (or firefighting or police work either, for that matter) and what you post doesn’t surprise me in the least.

But the one thing from the article at the top of this thread is that counter to reports here, it wasn’t a woman who was the commanding officer of this ill-run ship, but a man.

My guess, also, is that unfortunately this sort of thing is probably rife through the navy and other branches of the military.
