  • The Navy is completely blameless.

    You don’t put your team in jeopardy FOR ANY GOD DAMNED PERSONAL REASON EVER, let alone an entire fucking ship. Opsec wasn’t just broken, it was beaten, raped, and left for dead.

    I’ve spent time in the military, worked for the military, worked with the military, and currently work with law enforcement. What they did is inexcusable. This put hundreds of lives at risk for selfishness. “Lose lips” is now unauthorized civilian satellite communications sinks ships. Not to mention that starlink has a shit bag. Fascist like Elon Musk involved.
