    Going to start a tally for how often someone says DEI or woke when they really mean lack of funding. Nobody makes any money if you clean the rust off just buy a new one

      it's the US navy, the problem aint lack of funding. there's more than enough funding to keep the ships painted. i assume it gets stolen.

    I say we ought to start responding to these people in equally absurd ways.

    “Couldn’t agree with you more there brother. It’s not simply DEI and Wokeism, it’s a very organized network of LGBT warriors and minority activists intentionally sabotaging the boat infrastructure in hopes that all boats which dock to American naval bases will be destroyed. They have a very robust business model and are surprisingly resilient to tactics which would’ve been their downfall not even a decade ago. No more of this with Trump! 🇺🇸”

      The problem with that is that many of them are immune to irony. They'll run with the most absurd scenarios if they confirm their hateful prejudices. For example, the whole migrants eating pets thing.

      Not to mention that giving chuds more reasons to be mad at marginalized people just puts marginalized peoples in danger of having one of the chuds exact stochastic violence on them

        Oh of course but you have to make it look like they’re out of touch with the fabric of reality in hopes that someone out there will realize they need to think about their thoughts

        It will most likely fail and the only thing that will save people is mass re-education

    Used to be able to force the junior most guy to dangling over the side, 200 feet off the water while cruising at 20 knots, on a Bosun’s Chair* just to cover up rust with some paint (that will bleed through the paint in a week) to impress losers. Can’t anymore, because of woke.

      As a technical side note to show how stupid this person is, the Green Bay is based out of San Diego, and common practice is to paint the sides in Pearl Harbor so it looks good when it arrives in its home port after a deployment. Doing this work in port is safer and more effective, as you can use a boom lift to have a stable platform and not fall to your death, and actually remove the rust instead of just painting over it.

    to be fair it was the white guys who designed these boats with materials that rust when exposed to seawater.
