  1. This is nothing new. I served in the USMC 74-82. 'Human relations' training trumped the rifle range every single time.

  2. It's a virtual guarantee that the fire on this ship was arson....perpetrated by a commie leftist posing as a sailor.
    EVERY seaman on EVERY ship is a TRAINED FIREFIGHTER because
    fire is àlways a disaster on any ship at sea. This fire...while
    in port, was so fast and so destructive that even with onshore help
    it couldn't be contained. I have little doubt the Navy knows this fact, I have even less doubt they will never admit to this fact. It's also probable that there are more carefully placed saboteurs onboard all important naval vessels who will start fires and commit other such acts when to!d to....by either the CCP or their commie puppets in the Demonrat party. China is and has been waging a vigorous asymmetric war against us for a LONG TIME....sabotage of military assets is just a small part of that war.
