How Did This Class System Get Into My Imperial Navy?

What a Hell of a Way to Die

This week, Nate and Francis discuss a viral story about a Navy officer based in Japan accused of writing a letter about why he doesn’t want to live among ‘deviant’ enlisted troops. Who knows if the letter is real? What we do know is that the Navy absolutely loves to segregate between officer and enlisted, more so than most other branches, and also it’s an opportunity for us to read the comments section on military dot com and find the true gems.

For this week’s bonus, Francis has brought journalist Jasper Craven about Zoomer fascist congressman Madison Cawthorne, his weird proximity to veterans and lies about admittance to the US Naval Academy, and why we're probably stuck with him.
