Navy Blasted as Ineffective on Capitol Hill as Budget Crisis Looms

A pair of House lawmakers say they are fed up with the Navy's inability to advocate for itself and its priorities on Capitol Hill, even as concerns spike over China and the Pacific region.

Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., a former naval officer who sits on the House Armed Services Committee and its seapower panel, said "one of the most frustrating things that I see as a lawmaker" is the Navy not being able to clearly articulate what it needs.

Luria, speaking Wednesday at the annual Surface Navy Association's symposium in Alexandria, Virginia, said she has joked with the service's top uniformed official, Adm. Mike Gilday, in the halls of Congress, often asking him, "[Is] today the day you're going to come before Congress and actually tell us what we need and why?"

what's her problem, the democrats have been working since Clinton to achieve just this kind leadership in the military that she's complaining about in the Navy.
