The problem lies in the fact that the left prefers a weak defense, in shambles, because they would like to see the U.S defeated, and ruled by a global governing body. They just haven’t figured out how to keep Russia or China under their thumb.
No need to worry about that, though. First things first. Smash the United States.
A scathing report commissioned by congressional members has found that the United States Navy is in disarray and focusing more on diversity than warfighting.
The official findings, considered a nonpartisan exercise of congressional oversight, discovered that the Navy’s surface warfare forces have systemic training and leadership issues, including an intense focus on diversity that eclipses basic readiness skills. The authors of the review conducted long-form interviews with 77 active-duty, retired or detached officers, and enlisted personnel about insights into the culture of the United States Navy following a series of high-profile and damaging operational failures in the Navy’s surface warfare community.
A staggering 94 percent of the subjects believed the recent Naval disasters were part of a broader, internal problem. “I guarantee you every unit in the Navy is up to speed on their diversity training. I’m sorry that I can’t say the same of their ship handling training,” said one retired senior enlisted leader. Other interviewed participants also voiced concern that the Navy spends more time on diversity training than on developing warfighting capacity and key operational skills.
“Sometimes I think we care more about whether we have enough diversity officers than if we’ll survive a fight with the Chinese navy,” lamented one active duty lieutenant. “It’s criminal. They think my only value is as a black woman. But you cut our ship open with a missile and we’ll all bleed the same color,” she added.
This Woke Navy requires some new Watchwords. Here are a few:
“You may fire when you feel like it Gridley.”
“Damn the torpedoes, what about that sex change operation?”
“We have not yet begun to debate the possibility of fighting.”
“Don’t give up the slip!”
“We have met the enemy and we are theirs.”
“Praise the Lord and pass the lipstick.”
in just 6 short months Buck Fiden has destroyed the US Navy, soon to be followed by the US Army & Marines … how long the namby-pambies in the Air Farce can hold their knickers up is anyone’s guess
congrats D’rat/Communists. while the rest of the world is trying to shake of the shackles of serfdom, the US falls headlong into the abyss
Too much semen being served in the lower deck.
This is no longer funny. Biden declared war on you and I.
Transvestites will lead the surrender.
This is not my Navy anymore. I wouldn’t want to be in todays politically correct/woke Navy. I’d probably be on report continually for being an oppressive white heterosexual male or some other trumped bullshit charge.
“Diversity Officer” in Russian is “Komissar.”
It’s a feature, not a bug…
I really didn’t think our armed forces were up to defending Taiwan. Now these two ex-military officers are laying out why.
Besides the affliction of the “wokeism” disease, we would have to send our naval forces across the Pacific to China’s doorstep to engage a fierce enemy in his own territorial waters. Our leaders, and people lack the will of our fathers’ generation, and the conditions of 1941-45 do not apply now.
The so-called leaders will have lots of excuses, like: “We lack the men, machines, and money to go help a lost cause”. This is actually, but unfortunately true. Or, they will just sweat it out for a bit while the conquest of Taiwan becomes a fail accompli, then try to defend themselves for doing nothing to help a friend in need.
The Australians see this clearly, and it’s why its Sky News keeps hammering about how effed-up and weak Biden is. Australia is close enough to China to feel the Dragon’s hot breath.
