The Shit Cast
We discuss how the US Navy, not content with losing a 1.3 billion dollar baby carrier, goes on to shoot itself in the other foot. They falsley accuse low-ranking people, bring politically motivated charges, lie in to Congressional committees, fail to come up with a plan to fight future fires, and introduce the idea of adding more management to solve the "root" problem. In truth, the US Navy, at least the surface fleets, are beyond atrophied. An aging prizefighter coasting on reputation, convinced that they're just as good now as they were in their youth. We don't know what sorts of Revolutions in Military Affairs are just over the horizon. But, like the battleship believers of the second World War, time has passed the US Navy by as they cling to outmoded concepts, traditions, and behaviors.
