Could be good news, could be bad. Depends on which ships are decommed.

Some of these ships need maintenance. They also have issues with not enough Sailors but China is building up their Navy while we downsize our own. It is false economy because an admiral Warren Congress and the Chinese Communist Party military has said they are going to invade Taiwan and it's not just rhetoric anymore.

Those who don't want to take the covid-19 vaccine are being let go in the active duty. It is over 8,000 active component and at least 60,000 Reserve component from all branches.

You may be right. Did you look at the list and see? Getting rid of dock ships is not a good idea because the Marine Corps needs to be expeditionary.

LTC (Join to see) I remember AT&T said once upon a time they were going to lay off 50% of their employees. The statement was made, that’s good, as long as it’s the right 50%. Same applies here.

Yes, AT&T is a little different than the US Navy especially when the competitor or near peer adversary is building an offensive Navy

I don't know if you saw on TV a video of one of the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party being escorted out the door and the president for Life ignoring him as security is dragging him out and he's tugging at Xi Jingping?

The cast is set and it's only a matter of a couple years. While President Biden calls climate change the biggest existential threat and cuts back on defense budgets. When I mean about us back on defense budgets he put a 5% increase in the defense budget but he put a 15% increase in a couple departments to help mitigate golf Delta climate change. We've had a significant increase in the cost of fuel and energy and that affects and destroys the budgets of all the branches while he put $369 million dollars hidden in the inflation reduction act toward climate bullshit.
