The Travesty

Bill Clinton’s famed 1992 “war room” had the sign and the slogan: “It’s the economy stupid.” It is still true but if I could put one sub-sign under it, that sign would read “It’s the submarines stupid” to remind everyone on the campaign staff to remind the candidate every day to talk about the Silent Service and how much we depend upon it and how and why Donald Trump has to throw everything he can at fixing it. Captain Jerry Hendrix (USN, Ret.) is also Dr. Jerry Hendrix, historian. Today we discussed at length his long article from American Affairs: “Sunk at the Pier: Crisis in the American Submarine Industrial Base." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
