Democrats discovered the Navy last week. Good for them!
I, for one, am incredibly grateful for the time and attention the U.S. Navy is suddenly receiving from legacy media and the Democrats. The media are suddenly favoring emerging technology for the Navy and its EMALS (electromagnetic catapults) and have directed their fire on the president for his order to return to steam catapults. House and Senate Democrats are suddenly deeply concerned for the welfare of our sailors, given the USS Abraham Lincoln’s 200-plus-day deployment with nary a port call or a day off.
The author expresses gratitude for the recent attention the U.S. Navy is receiving from Democrats and the media, particularly regarding emerging technology and sailor welfare. However, this newfound concern is criticized as politically motivated, as Democrats previously showed no concern for extended deployments or the Navy’s deteriorating state under the current administration. The piece urges for concrete legislative action and increased defense spending instead of mere political rhetoric.
