The Navy has fired five senior leaders so far in August – and the month isn't even over.
While the sea service is famous for instilling in officers that they are responsible for any wrongdoing by their sailors – whether they are aware of the infractions or not – the recent rash of firings is a lot, even for the Navy.
A Navy spokesman said there is no connection between any of the five officers relieved of command, adding that each relief is looked at separately.
"Senior leaders in the U.S. Navy, especially those in triad leadership positions – commanding officers, executive officers, and command master chiefs – are entrusted with essential responsibilities to their sailors, ships, and commands," said Cmdr. Jereal Dorsey.

But isn't it fair to say that the Navy has been in a lousy shape for years and years now?
Something had to happen.
Remember all the collisions over the last few years? Much because of training and lack of leadership.
We cannot spend billions and billions if we don't have leadership.
And you can't have leadership without a vision.
And you can't have vision without some fucking good LSD. Pass the joint, maannnnnn! ;)

Obviously your advice is trash.... LSD comes in tabs, not joints.
Still, with all the problems the navy has been having, the aforementioned collisions, Corruption scandals, AND all the problems with recent ship designs, I am not sure more shouldn't be fired.
