Road to 350: What Does the US Navy Do Anyway?

[sevenhelmet]

I gave you four (of hundreds of possible) links from an array of sources. Each of them point to the deliberate decision to remove senior officials from atop various chains of command, to include the JAG Corps. You can hem and haw and say that's not what it is, but you're being willfully naive.

This shit isn't hard, unless you're trying not to see it, or just dont know what you're looking at. A few of the regulars around here will claim this is all just misguided TDS, but those are the same people who probably never really understood their own oaths in the first place, so you know grains of salt and all that...

To bring this back to something adjacent to the title of the thread, this is some interesting reporting on current USN/USMC ops in SOUTHCOM.*


* if Yahoo is to biased and inaccurate, I'll DM you a dozen different links that say the same thing.

I will dogpile on that a bit and say that as a term, "TDS" is a stupid byproduct of social media echo-chambers, and is meaningless in debate. If you've ever used it, just stop.

someone with less experience cannot “take someone to task”

Yes, ordinarily I would agree with this principle, but in this case, I think Spekkio's body of work on this site provides us some insight on the general validity of his claims or thought processes. It's a little bit like if we had a 7th grader who has just finished an Intro to Biology class questioning a heart surgeon's suturing technique.

In this specific case, I'm going to lend more trust to a SME who has spent much of his career in senior DoD positions, serving both GOP and Dem administrations, than a guy who hasn't set foot in an E-ring suite, and that has built his reputation on this site for bizarre hare-brained theories and partisan talking points.

This is the basis for my expressed incredulity.
