In WW2 sailors fought horrific battles with fire and damage while under fire and trying to keep from dying. Yet today it appears no one gives a shit about training. We dump massive money into building new ships (with tech that often is pathetically bad, see the new aircraft carrier). Maybe our military has been reduced to a money sink for big defense contractors, but that doesn't absolve them from basic training and disciplined planning for disaster which really costs very little to do right.
- bagels 5y agoThis was my concern too. What's the point in having these ships if the most minor damage will cause a catastrophic loss due to incompetence?
