god damb, you beat me too it....
"I can't find kids that are smart enough, skinny enough and motivated enough..." Some random sub fleet admiral a year ago..
Just read that only 7 destroyers in the seventh fleet (out of almost 40) are currently operational... Bremerton sub fleet is parked at the dock, only three of the eight seawolf attack subs are currently manned, but they are all in perfect, operational condition. Sure hope china doesn't red dawn the west coast... wouldn't that suprize everyone?
