Can any military really say this with a straight face? It's obviously not their top priority. If it was, they wouldn't be packing actual live humans into a pressurized nuclear-powered tube packed with explosives and send them into the black. Not to mention that whole "going to war" thing they occasionally do. That's pretty risky stuff, or so I hear.
Sorry for the snark. One can only take so much BS per hour, and I just got out of a meeting so my tolerance was low.
- wycy 5y agoWhen we're not at war, US Navy submarining is extremely safe. No one has died on a US Navy submarine since 2005, and even that was just 1 person.
