Former Navy Secretary Ray Mabus (he resigned after the USS Roosevelt
incident) now demonstrates why he should never have been the
Navy Secretary to begin with. Here's his latest:

"I think what they need to do is bring every ship in," Maybus said. "...
Offload most of the crew ... leave a very skeletal force on board,
sanitize the ship, quarantine people for two weeks, make sure nobody's
got COVID."

Way to go. Let all our adversaries know our Navy is out of commission.

Of course, it'll be far better for the morale and welfare of the sailors
to have hundreds or thousands of their shipmates become infected with
covoid-19 and die.

Navy should be cut in half. The invaders we have nowadays are airborne
viruses or terrorists on a commerical airliner. Not much use for a naveeeee.

We haven't had an invader since 1912. I assume all of the wars we were
involved in since then were a waste of our blood and treasure. If you
just want to talk about the last 70 years, I might agree.
A strong navy is the only thing that makes the oceans a barrier to
invasion tho. The country with the best navy owns the water up to your
beach line. We found that out the last time we were invaded.

The thing people like Harry fail to grasp is that having a strong Navy
(and military in general) ..... *works*.

Actually last time we were invaded was June of 1942. Japanese invaded
Alaska.

Yes that is true but I was really thinking of the CONUS. The Japanese
occupied a bunch of our territories in WWII.
I think you might be able to argue that they actually had a more
powerful navy in 1941 tho. We were top heavy in obsolete battleships
at a time when naval air power was what would win the war. They
brought more carriers to Pearl Harbor that we had in the whole
pacific.
