>>100555784I think you're right but probably not for the reasons you think.
The Navy is fucked up now because ti's a mutant monster of the WW2 days.
It forgot what peace means.
No other branch requires 4 hours of sleep per day for its soldiers.
The Navy is fucked because it's acting like it's the god damned 19th century.
YOU SLEEP 4 HOURS YOUR WORK 16 HOURS YOU SLEEP 4 HOURS. Repeat.
The bottom line is that we have too many ships and not enough men.
That can work when it's the end of the road and we're about to be conquered.
But Jesus, don't wear your men down to bone when you don't need to.
Hire more sailors or retire more ships. Is there any surprise that the 7th Fleet is playing bumper cars?
