This one has me scratching my head. Is this just poorly written?

The worst thing we can do as a nation in general and as a military in particular is to subdivide itself.
Its happening and its not good.
This will end badly.
UPDATE:
The spineless bastard changed it up and didn't even note the correction. Amazing. If it was Huffington Post I could see that but I do expect better from the Weekly Standard.

The White House announced today that First Lady Michelle Obama will sponsor the USS Illinois, the first all female submarine force. The newest submarine "is expected to join the fleet in late 2015," according to the White House.If this is as it reads then when is the first all Gay, Straight, Hispanic, Caucasian, Asian, Black, Jewish, Catholic etc...submarine force coming?

ReplyDeletesorry my comment was right before your update, sorry Sol
ReplyDeleteI just read this as well. We are wasting a perfectly good state-of-the -art sub on an incompetent all female crew so they feel good about themselves. I think this is the most fucked up thing I've read and is an ongoing continuation of liberal ideology destroying our society and making our national security unsafer. This demands an investigation. What is the purpose? What will this accomplish? What sort of studies have been done to prove this 'all women crew' meets or exceeds the skill and qualification of a 'normal' all men's crews.
ReplyDeleteFUCKED
I very much doubt the USN is going to an all female crew given they just started letting women serve in SSBN's. It will take many years to get enough female officers through the training needed to command every slot much less the rest of the crew. The misleading thing about the picture is that it's of the first 24 women allowed to to begin training and not anything whatsoever to do with an all female crew.
ReplyDeleteSo yeah Sol it's poorly written with the photo caption not properly explained and mangled into the title giving a false impression. It's actually not at clear when, if ever, women will be allowed to serve on SSN's so it's of course impossible the USN can have an all female SSN crew.
