doubt my navy will be having oilbomber dictate a dyke/twink command takeover......chuckles. that said, this list indicates we need new leadership and direction of mil forces. best to start at the top by ashcanning whoever the "cic" happens to be --- then work down the command chain vetting against the obvious cancer at the top.
------always bet on black------
How do you get Obama being responsible for this? The Navy has always done this. They may be the least forgiving of mistakes of all the services,and every one of the firings you listed were completely justified. They were all due to lack of leadership,incompetence,misconduct,or involvement in criminal activity. How else would you have a service conduct itself that floats around with more firepower in some individual ships than the whole Navy had in WW-2? Anybody that was ever a career soldier,sailor,airman,or marine would nod their heads and say "yep!" to themselves while going down that list. BTW,it's not even a big list. The US Navy is a huge organization,and I'd be surprised if more people than that weren't bounced each month. I was never in the Navy even though I grew up around it and went to school with a lot of Navy kids,but I bet any career sailors on your board will verify all that I wrote. BTW-2,being relieved of command is not the same thing as being tossed out of the service,but you might as well get out when your time is up because you will never get promoted again and you will never do anything interesting again.
A wise man once said,"If you wish to live your life as a good man,try to be the man your dog thinks you are."
Above ALL we need to eliminate any future AA or social promotions. Let's go back to the system were if you can't handle the job you don't get it or get to keep it? Defending the country and saving the lives of those you are responsible for is serious business,and not a place for social promotions and experiments.

Taliban: They hate gays and abortion. Fundies: See Taliban
They were all due to lack of leadership,incompetence,misconduct,or involvement in criminal activity. Your observations are 100% on the money.
