Sounds like the Navy to me…
I’m certain it won’t take long to top this, Mr. Polmar, especially if Hillary is elected.
Being an old Navy guy (as opposed to an ‘Old Navy’ guy) this story almost makes me want to indulge in the canard that
Military Intelligence is an oxymoron.
Military Intelligence is a contradiction in terms.
Military Intelligence are two mutually exclusive words.
Military Intelligence are two terms that do not go together.
Okay: I will indulge: THIS IS DUMB!
Shiver my timbers!
My guess? His department is running a lot smoother of late.
This story doesn’t improve:
Has anyone here been following this story? It takes a lot to shock me these days, but this is appalling.
In the book Skunk Works, the amazing Kelly Johnson had a list of 14 commandments. The unofficial fifteenth rule: Never do business with the navy! (Exclamation point in original.) The chapter on Lockheed’s attempt to build a ship made it pretty clear that, as ridiculous and counterproductive as the Air Force bureaucracy was, it was a model of efficiency compared to the Navy.
The Navy has more than a hundred years more experience. The Air Force can’t even hope to get to that level of efficiency in the near future.
Hillary Clinton, we’ve found your CIA Director nominee!

Now landsmen all, whoever you may be,
If you want to rise to the top of the tree,
If your soul isn’t fettered to an office stool,
Be careful to be guided by this golden rule.
Chorus.
Be careful to be guided by this golden rule.
Sir Joseph.
Stick close to your desks and never go to sea,
And you all may be rulers of the Queen’s Navee!
It shows just how unserious people are about the state of national security. Its going to be a shame that a whole lot of people will have to die first before that changes.
What’s wrong with this dude! Doesn’t he have a server at home?
This reminds me of NYC’s policy of removing from the classroom teachers who are charged with inappropriate behavior and keeping them on the payroll, requiring them to show up to “rubber rooms” and do nothing each day.
Yeah, that about sums it up.
I pity the Republicans who step into Washington after Obama is gone. They will find all kinds of situations like this.
And make no mistake, they’ll get the blame.
