3. Why is Steven Crowder wearing that ridiculous American flag outfit with gym shorts. The video itself with the explanation of how the US Navy was started was very good but Crowder’s over the top outfit took away from it and bugged me as a veteran, it was totally unprofessional and I’m sorry to say it looked gay.

6. I have chosen to serve in the United States Navy. America depends on my performance for her survival, and I accept the challenge to set my standards high, placing my country’s well-being above self-interest.

   I will be loyal to my country, its Constitution and laws, and to my shipmates.

   I will be honest in my personal and professional life and encourage my shipmates to do the same.

   I will, to the best of my ability, do the right thing for its own sake, and I am prepared to face pain or death in defense of my country.

   I will be a professional, wearing my uniform with pride and accepting responsibility for my actions.

   I will set excellence as my standard and always strive for ways to make me a better sailor and my crew a better crew.

   The Caribbean was as treacherous as well as the Mediterranean Sea. There was no Tripoli. Just pirating of vessels, cargo, booze and humans.

8. “the shores of Tripoli” aint just a line in a song.
