✝️✡️🇺🇸⚓ Retired Navy Chief⚓🇺🇸

So much BS flying around about deployment length and elections - here are my thoughts which are based on experience. Buckle up - it's not for the weak. The Navy didn’t hand anyone a wife or kids. Ships and submarines aren’t floating apartments — they belong at sea. That’s their purpose. Keep them docked and they’re useless. They’re called Sailors for a reason. We protect and defend this nation. This isn’t a hobby and it sure as hell isn’t a job you walk away from whenever it gets inconvenient. Sailors belong at sea. We always come home. The only question is when. Men and women volunteer for this. Stop the bitching. Thank them. Shut up and be grateful they do the job most Americans refuse to do. Without the military, a lot of people in this country would already be speaking a different language, standing in bread lines, and living under the kind of forced labor we see with the Uyghurs. That’s not theory — it’s history repeating itself when nations go soft. We are AMERICA. Our military protects and defends us. Never forget that when foreign nationals are brought here, here becomes there. If you don’t like America, there are hundreds of other countries you can try — but many of them won’t let you in. That’s exactly why so many veterans and active-duty members have zero tolerance for the politicians who push unchecked immigration, flood the country with people who don’t share our values, then refuse to keep America sacred for its own citizens. The same people who vote to put Muslims and other incompatible ideologies into power while our sailors are out there doing the hard work. Enough.
