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.
TL;DR
- Democrats and legacy media are suddenly showing interest in the U.S. Navy, focusing on EMALS and sailor welfare.
- The author criticizes this attention as belated and politically motivated, contrasting it with previous inaction on extended deployments and Navy deterioration.
- Democrats are accused of blocking defense spending requests while expressing concern for sailors.
- The article calls for concrete actions like voting for increased defense spending and legislation rather than just talk.
- Sailors aboard carriers like the USS Ford and USS Lincoln deserve gratitude for their service and sacrifice.
