This chapter features a humorous critique of the Navy, humorously branding it as the 'dumbass of the day' due to recent incidents involving a relieved commander. The discussion transitions into a serious examination of military leadership, focusing on the implications of appointing commanders based on identity over qualifications amid debates on diversity and inclusion policies. Through light-hearted anecdotes and serious reflections, the speakers challenge the balance between merit and equity in critical military appointments, raising questions about national security and competence.
