Different roles

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

In the promotion of men and women to oversee a nation's ultimate weapons systems, you need personalities and demeanor like this admiral: friendly, polite, and open but resolute and non-ideological or dogmatic. You don't want nut cases like the general Flynn guy hanging on to Trump's coacttail, encouraging Trump to declare "marshal law" (by which they meant "martial law") so Trump could resort to using the mighty US military to "enforce" some domestic political election dispute, etc. And the BS that the US is falling behind China is just that: complete BS. In another 25 to 35 years, once China has been operating 5 to 8 super carriers and 2 dozen nuclear subs for at least 20 years, yes, they would be on a par with the US Navy. But right now, the admiral is right: the Chinese "300+ naval ships" are 90% still just fishing boats and mid sized, mid ranged ships that can't do any more than patrolling a tiny strip of China's pacific coast line. The traditional Chinese description for that is "paper tiger." That's what the Chinese military right now is, despite the fact that they DO have very deadly missiles, as noted. And, yes, they have the capability to shoot American military in orbits, as does the USA. But even if both the US and China blow up most of each other's military satellites, the US has more ally satellites in space than China; and on earth, the US WILL still dominate the Chinese both on land and on the high seas, since the US's Air Force has over 10,000 aircraft, most being high-end ones... compared to the much small high-end Chinese Air Force aircraft, in the mere hundreds, however many they may have on paper, like North Korea likes to display their 1950s aircraft and tanks and fishing boats painted as real deadly ships. They don't have dozens of the nuclear subs the US has that could go quietly under water for months at a time, resurfacing only because they need to restock on foods and supplies...

Thanks for your service! I was in the Army myself. China loves to talk a big talk about how deadly their PLA military is. This is combined with China's world's largest propaganda campaigns using their "50 Cent Army" (Wu-Mao) that sets up thousands of fake user accounts on American social media sites to try to sway public opinion and spread more false propaganda (e.g. non-stop daily fake propaganda trying to cover up China's Xinjiang "re-education" concentration camps that imprison and torture 1 to 2 million ethnic Uyghurs). China also loves to publicize to the world their propaganda videos showing their military drills and how their army, navy, and air force look so menacing. But China's last actual combat experience was about 35 years ago during the 1980s Sino-Vietnamese wars. For better and for worse, the U.S. has been involved in actual combat frequently during the past 4 decades. So if war is compared to a soccer or football competition, China has been practicing football drills only with their own players for the past 4 decades, while the U.S. has been playing actual real football games against different teams in different stadiums every year for the past 4 decades; i.e. China has not even played a single pre-season football (war) game for the past 4 decades. So China's 細菌屁 really needs to remember that as much he wants to invade Taiwan as part of his dictatorship legacy, he should not underestimate the U.S. and he should view Russia's struggles in Ukraine as a ominous lesson about invading another peaceful country!

Man was legitimately appreciative of what we did since we were often overlooked and overshadowed by the jets. Yes we just wait around just in case the worse scenario happens and we have to pull a downed aviator out of the water but I’m glad to this day I have never had to go through our procedures in a real case scenario. That means everyone is being safe and doing their job right!

I was a US Navy Nuclear Surface Officer for 8 years from 2008-2015. The US Navy Surface fleet has a SERIOUS training problem. There is not a "warfighter above all" culture in the non-nuclear surface fleet. I call it a "checkbox and hatch" culture - get through the many random obligations you have then hit the liberty door. In the end, shipboard personnel are pulled 10 different ways and it leaves little time to actually train as real warfighters. The US Navy Nuclear trained personnel have a vastly different culture where training, competence and accountability are EVERYTHING and it has been like that for decades. The culture started by ADM Rickover runs DEEP in the nuclear navy and therefore I am highly confident in our submarine fleet and carrier fleet's ability to actually fight. I just hope the rest of the surface Navy can keep up in a real war...

Thank you for your service! I was previously in the Army. Also served with the NATO peacekeeping force in Bosnia in the mid-90s. China loves to talk a big talk about how deadly their PLA military is. This is combined with China's world's largest propaganda campaigns using their "50 Cent Army" (Wu-Mao) that sets up thousands of fake user accounts on American social media sites to try to sway public opinion and spread more false propaganda (e.g. non-stop daily fake propaganda trying to cover up China's Xinjiang "re-education" concentration camps that imprison and torture 1 to 2 million ethnic Uyghurs). China also loves to publicize to the world their propaganda videos showing their military drills and how their army, navy, and air force look so menacing. But China's last actual combat experience was about 35 years ago during the 1980s Sino-Vietnamese wars. For better and for worse, the U.S. has been involved in actual combat frequently during the past 4 decades. So if war is compared to a soccer or football competition, China has been practicing football drills only with their own players for the past 4 decades, while the U.S. has been playing actual real football games against different teams in different stadiums every year for the past 4 decades; i.e. China has not even played a single pre-season football (war) game for the past 4 decades. So China's 細菌屁 really needs to remember that as much he wants to invade Taiwan as part of his dictatorship legacy, he should not underestimate the U.S. and he should view Russia's struggles in Ukraine as a ominous lesson about invading another peaceful country!

@President Eden The numbers of ships are not necessarily indicative of their ability to defeat a smaller force. Much depends on the tonnage of the vessels and their purposes. Right now the Chinese navy only has three aircraft carriers, one of which I believe is a pretty much useless old Russian ship. China has a bunch of smaller, relatively light, vessels, destroyers and smaller I believe. I'd have to do a bit of research, but I think one of our largest carriers can carry more planes than all the Chinese carriers combined.

Wow clear and direct answers. Politicians could learn something

[@benjaminudarbe2052]

Politicians can't give clear and direct answer. They have to very carefully manipulate their words so they can earn your votes.

My dad says he's lying so he doesn't get kicked out.

Thank you.

I worked for 5 years in the shipyard that built the LCS. I’m sure there are multiple factors that affect building on time on budget-but one huge problem among the thousands of shipyard employees, was that they didn’t pay us worth a damn! Lower than average wage for trade hands. Treated the hands like crap. I can tell you this much for sure after 20 years in construction-YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR when it comes to the talent building your boats!!!

I was sad to see long beach naval shipyard shut down we should never closed it up in first part.

[@michaelmitchell6629]

Long Beach was my best duty station and on my ship Bb 62 best two years of my navy duty.

[@michaelmitchell6629]

I still go to long beach on tourist visits every year.

USS Carl Vinson vet 2003-08. Admiral Mike Gilday is very impressive. His eyes had me like captivated. But when he says "there is no wrong door to knock on when you need help," yeah, unless you've developed a drug problem, which is more common than people know.

[@MrPerez-oz8lc]

I worked along side with the admiral and other military service members last week in Maui helping the victims of the fire. We were giving out crocs/clothes to families, truly a humble man. Proud to work with him and the others.

[@cheeno418]

Hooyah Navy! Served for 20 years and just recently retired. I was onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN71 from 2016-2019. Great times!

Military industrial complex beats the drums for war

[@tomsuh1362]

OH yeah, let Japan and South Korea take the first nuke if war breaks out. The world economy is able to do a big re-set this year anyway.

[@Too-Odd]

Yep, and Norah O’Donnell has officially sold out.

[@wrathofgrothendieck]

We need to grow our economy, we need to go to war.

[@ValinPrezkowski]

Oh? You’d just like to see our enemies overtake America’s advantages? Gotcha, comrade!

[@kirani111]

Taiwanese, Chinese and American people don't want war. We know each other, have family and friends in each country, and are afraid of escalation. I wish we could just refuse to form part of a war, but that's not what happens. Politicians scheme, and soldiers follow orders. I hope it never, never comes to that.

[@dannyxv7278]

Feels like China and Russia are on the defensive looking to secure their defensive points before the big nukes fly than all our war breaks. Navy is crucial to winning the war.

[@cathyandresiak]

I hope the same , war will not work because no one will win and both will be losers with many people dead ! An intelligent man uses his mind to determine how not to have a war and speak to each other to accomplish this .

[@BLKSHARK_43]

The military industrial complex want this war for money it's all about blood for money the elite want that trading port for themselves America's always try to poke a war like always like they'll some type of Christian crusade to rule the world

[@ramoncastaneda8432]

We Americans have no family In china or related to China in any blood form .

[@Harthorn]

Tell that to the communist party of China. The one party dictatorship of mainland china.

[@oemolokupano4512]

Excellent report! Thank you.

[@rickdon6006]

The thing I find fascinating is that 99% of the worlds population wants to get along with everyone else on this planet. It’s the small 1% that keeps us in constant conflict due to greed!!!

[@harryharry3193]

human nature involves greed on all levels..yes?

[@TeaParty1776]

Due to sacrifice

Well if that Taiwanese Tsai gives you money.. Lots of it, you take it?

This man is a true hero, along with all the people in the service. God bless the US military, and God bless America.
