It’s awfully easy to demand expectations from others behind the safety and comfort of a desk.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> is this expecting that others step up where you’d fail? This is a nonsense argument. I’m not willing to go med school, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t require it for doctors. A fighting force addicted to their phones is vulnerable. You can’t have the first time your Navy goes cold turkey on a psychological dependence be during combat.
- shiroiushi 2y agoFine, if you want to prevent sailors from having modern internet access, then you just need to accept you're going to have a very small Navy and plan accordingly, because very few young people are going to want to join. You can't force people to agree with your opinion. Perhaps you could convince the Navy to open their recruitment to the 55+ age segment.
- dazilcher 2y agoThat's quite the hyperbole - I'm pretty sure internet access is a secondary concern at best, when deciding to join the Navy. Sailors are giving up a lot more in terms of personal life, fixating on internet access as a dealbreaker is such an odd take.
