Gone are the simulated missile attacks, mass casualties, and shipboard fires, the hallmark of Cold War training, sources say. Instead recruits will now face challenges more suitable to the 21st Century threat environment: sexual harassment training; drug and alcohol response; and leadership more worried about covering asses than using common sense.

Capt Seid Waddell, though it is the Duffel Blog and therefore satire, things like this often reek of truth!

PO1 John Miller, Thanks, I was not familiar with the Duffel Blog and just scanned the article briefly. My mistake.

Gen. Martin Dempsey said he would have a "serious" conversation with Chinese military leaders about the incident very soon.

Sounds like the final "watch" for an officer qualifying Officer of the Deck on a submarine I was on. He had the usual, loss of shaft lube oil, flooding in the torpedo room (same time), and a fire in the galley (burned toast). Then he got hit with "request to shoot trash". This caught him by surprise. As he was stunned by the audacity of that request in the middle of the casualties, he got the request to blow sanitaries (the tank where everything from the sinks and toilets go). These types of things were hitting him all at the same time to see how he would handle being under heavy pressure.
My job in this as a senior electricians mate was to go and start changing lights around him and testing the emergency lighting.
So all this was going on and he suddenly grabs the 1MC (shipwide PA system basically) and says "LIBERTY CALL! LIBERTY CALL! We are all dead anyway so enjoy your last few moments alive!"
ROFL
Oh, he did pass because he handled the important "casualties" properly. And the CO loved his "bearing under pressure".

Is the Navy developing young men and women capable of withstanding the pressures of a fire at sea or general quarters? That's my biggest fear, that they might not be. I understand being politically correct and not wanting to hurt somebody's feelings. I'm not trying to knock it just wondering out loud. Will the next war be fought with video games and unmanned craft?
