MORALE: The U.S. Navy Is Fading Away. “The U.S. Navy recently ran an opinion survey which confirmed that morale was low and getting worse, with a growing number of experienced sailors eager to get out of the navy. The most common gripe was the length of time spent at sea and the belief that those long voyages to distant waters were going to get longer. There was also growing disillusionment with navy leadership. Sailors saw senior officers more concerned with political correctness and ‘zero tolerance’ than with legitimate complaints of sailors and junior officers.”

When the “social justice warriors” take over the military, the real warriors are inclined to depart. Which may well be the plan.
