Protecting the sea lanes has always been a core mission of the navy. Not the only mission, but a core mission. I also recommend my interview of Nick Lambert on his forthcoming book on Mahan & $ea Power.

America doesn’t and shouldn’t have a Navy to “police the sea lanes” or “uphold the RBIO.” It should have one to ensure no potentially hostile power dominates one of the world’s key market areas. That means defeating the PLA in an attack on the FIC.

6. Deployments are like Shawshank. - every day's pretty much the same - sometimes you wonder what got you there - friendships are made in hard times - sometimes the rules suck; but you don't make the rules

Read document in SCIF Later wrote down everything she read in said SCIF. No. This is not how something becomes “unclassified” according to this member of Congress. If as an intelligence officer, I’d have done that, my clearance would have been yanked & faced charges.

Greene: The FBI is stonewalling us and they would only let us see it in a scif. What I did after reading the document is made notes when I walked out and went to the table. I wrote down everything that I had just read.

Elaine Luria has been the best advocate for a stronger navy in a generation. Had her service been continued, in my opinion as a historian, Navy officer & 3X Hill staffer, I think she would have eventually been as impactful as Carl Vinson. She served honorably.
