I think this decision was God awful. However, my husband who served in the Navy wasn't surprised. He predicted this Captain's career was over because those higher on the food chain do not like being publicly embarrassed. "Doesn't matter if the Captain's decision was morally right or not," my husband said. "The Brass will drop a load of bricks on his head. It's the prevailing culture."

Sadly, he was right.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
