As former enlisted Navy let me say this. Every officer thinks they’re captain Picard. That they can just say, “make it so” and somehow all of this impossible shit will just happen. Contractors will never work themselves out of a job. Most sailors are fuckups who join because they couldn’t put a life together in the real world. It is literally a billion dollar mess. The train wreck of the LCS program really highlights all these issues.

as a fellow enlisted I would recommend the movie The Pentagon Wars. I watched that and was pointing at the screen like Leo the whole time.
