(2,868 posts)as the Commander in Chief, should give the Navy a military order NOT to deploy any unvaccinated personal, as it would be dangerous for military readiness. Let the RightWing courts try to counter THAT.

There's a big problem with supposed real men who can't seem to think with their real head with a real brain. When SEALs first came into being, they were supposed to be smart guys who could blend into any situation, be ready for anything, and be physically fit enough to do whatever is necessary. Most early (1970's/1980's) SEALs I've met are smallish, wirey guys who are highly educated, can think fast, have a wry and smart sense of humor (even if it was a bit dark) and are adaptable to any situation.
These uncompromising macho good ole' boys on steroids types you see strutting around now can't work independently very well and get others killed acting on their little heads rather than their big brains.
If they can only take orders from higher ups they like and only follow regulations they agree with, they were a waste of millions of training dollars and should be kicked out.
Sad to think the US government wasted all that money and time on a bunch of egotistical dumb jocks just because they looked purty in uniform.

I've trained some of these guys. Your synopsis is balls on accurate.

(7,771 posts)...and not at all surprising. A lot of things in modern times exhibit style over substance. Talking tough and being tough are two very different things.
Today we have trucker "freedom convoys" acting aggrieved over mask mandates, pissed at the publicity that unarmed ordinary citizens are getting for standing in front of Russian armor columns trying to save their country.
One represents the bluster of a child, one is a true defense of children.
Thanks for the post.
