You sound like my bigoted, right wing nephew who is an uneducated Navy vet.

If the U.S. Navy is not prepared for combat (a proposition I seriously doubt, as it is one of the most professional and best-trained services in the world, hands down), then the "factor" to look for is the regime of the last Commander-in-Chief. Trump managed to burn through 6 Secretaries of Defense, 4 of whom were only acting (never confirmed by the Senate), in 4 years- twice the number who served under Obama in half the time. Such instability at the top cannot help but filter down through the ranks, just as constantly changing the head of the division in a business will make the employees down the ladder nervous.

The one thing that is almost certainly not to blame for any putative lack of readiness is bias awareness training, let's call it what it is. I take it myself once a year now for my state job. It's an hour-long training module on the computer which actually takes far less than an hour, and all it does is point out inbuilt biases which all people have, and need to question and become more aware of. "Wokeness training" is just another inflammatory term invented to alarm people who like their biases just the way they are, and don't want to question them.

Not good.

Rumble needs an enema, better to watch Fox News and that's carcinogenic.
