Thanks To Woke Nonsense…We'll Soon Be A Navy Of One: Navy Sidelines 17 Ships Citing Lack Of Manpower

Posted • August 25, 2024: There is no institution, no tradition, no intellectual property, and no policy the Left won't undermine/destroy if it stands in the way of their woke ideology.

It's not like there are hostile forces out there who would take advantage of our military weakness or anything. This writer's father was a Vietnam-era Navy veteran. He was proud of his service. She's glad he's not around to see what his beloved Navy has become. (…)
