US Navy Is Hobbled by Failures as the Risk of Conflict With China Looms

(Bloomberg) -- The Navy is the most hobbled by readiness failures among the four US military service branches, according to congressional auditors, a worrisome assessment given the crucial role it would play in any potential conflict with China.

The Navy piled up the most problems in its “resource readiness” rating from 2017 through 2021, according to the Government Accountability Office. The classified rating measures how well the military services acquire parts, personnel, supplies and training to be “mission-capable.”

“Potential adversaries, most notably China and Russia, have developed and enhanced their own capabilities,” Diana Maurer, the Government Accountability Office’s military readiness director, said in a prepared statement for a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday. “At the same time, our work has shown that nearly two decades of conflict has degraded U.S. military readiness.”

They don't have any setbacks, just "strategic delays."

[LMAO]

How would you ever win a war with a military whose commanders are more concerned with pronouns and white rage?

Time for the JCS to get their shit together and sort it.

You people have one main job. To break things and kill enemies on command.

Nothing else matters.

If you fail in your main job, your pronouns won't mean squat.

Actually, it looks like the Navy is more interested in child mutilation than anything else:

The Navy told sailors that they talk to their children at age 12 about gender identity, sex, STD’s, pregnancy, etc. without notifying parents. When asked if "the Navy’s policy circumvents a parents right to know?" the Navy official answered "Yes".

That is just terrible.  Another thing that will further drive down recruitment.

Between this and drag queens, is there any wonder that recruitment is down.

Go off on sea duty, and come back to find out that son you have been bragging on has (been) changed...
