In any case, she isnāt going out to sea anytime soon.ā Thatās what a retired U.S. Navy officer told me yesterday when I asked what he thought the USS Gerald R.

While her research-based piece is focused on the secular aspect of our military, letās explore what effect Mr. Hegseth's and Mr. Trumpās firing of 15 senior military officers may have on Department of Defense (DOD) service employees and the military's readiness to protect Americaās 348 million citizens.
