While the US navy says it has a hard time recruiting sailors and manning its ships, The US government has plenty of money to try to hire 87K IRS agents to go after Small businesses that can't afford to pay for former IRS agents to defend them and check under the sofa for spare change.
While China and Russia are expanding their navies, we are downsizing hours and giving $300 billion dollars hidden in the inflation reduction act which actually should be renamed the 6 divisions of IRS agents hidden within the Climate change donor money to China initiative hidden into the Orwellian 1984 DoubleSpeak 'Inflation Reduction Act.'
5 cruisers are being decommissioned. One of the 5 Ticonderoga class Cruisers, CG-42 Vella Gulf, is already in the Reserve Fleet.
When in a bad peace, prepare for war ( Russia escalating Ukraine war into Western Europe, Korea saying it won't rule out the first strike of Nukes, China invading Taiwan, Iran, and Israel getting into a nuclear exchange change since Iran is already or/ probably at the nuclear 'break-out' phase)not prepare for spending money and throwing it at climate change is at climate change when a limited nuclear war could throw all these trillions of dollars of woke leftist climate agenda aspirations into the toilet.
Even a limited nuclear war would bring 20 years of cooler weather. So much so that we could have a year or years without a summer but President Biden and the other Apostles of the Green New Deal, (AOC and Bernie Sanders), don't want to tell you this.
Those $300 billion dollars could be used instead to keep our navy running and do maintenance on ships that are already past their lifespan. We could also use the extra money to give retention or recruiting bonuses. I know that the
Church of the Green New deal in Washington won't permit that and definitely, our knuckleheads in the White House are brainwashed. LTC Stephen F. LTC (Join to see) LTC Trent Klug 1SG (Join to see) COL (Join to see)

Remember, US bad China good in Biden's worldview.
I wonder if Milley consulted with his Chinese counterpart on these moves.

THank you my friend LTC (Join to see) for posting the perspective from news.usni.org contributing author Heather Mongilio from August 15, 2022
I concur with you that as "China and Russia are expanding their navies, we are downsizing [our navy] and giving $300 billion dollars hidden in the inflation reduction act which actually should be renamed the 6 divisions of IRS agents hidden within the Climate change donor money to China initiative hidden into the Orwellian 1984 DoubleSpeak 'Inflation Reduction Act.'
The following is the complete list of ships the Navy is set to decommission in Fiscal Year 2023.

Background from {[news.usni.org/2022/08/15/navy-wants-to-decommission-39-warships-in-2023]}
The Navy wants to shed 39 ships in Fiscal Year 2023, with the first ship set to depart on Halloween.
The list, which includes five guided-missile cruisers and nine Littoral Combat Ships, was released Friday as an administrative message. However, the composition of the final list is far from a done deal. Included on the inactivation list are several ships that could be saved from decommissioning by provisions in the House and Senate versions of the National Defense Authorization Act, as well as the House version of the Appropriations Bill.
The inativation schedule starts with the decommissioning of USNS Bob Hope (T-AKR-300)), USNS Fisher (T-AKR-301) and USNS Walter S Diehl (T-AO-193) on Oct. 31, 2022. The last ships scheduled for decommissioning are USS Gunston Hall (LSD-44) and USS St. Louis (LCS-19).
Gunston Hall is one of the four dock landing ships included on the inactivation schedule. The Senate Armed Services Committee’s version of the NDAA forbids the Navy from decommissioning any of the four Whidbey Island-class ships — Gunston Hall, USS Germantown (LSD-42), USS Tortuga (LSD-46) and USS Ashland (LSD-48). While the committee passed its version of the bill, it has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.
Tortuga is currently being modernized to extend its life in the fleet, USNI News reported.
Of the 39 ships included on the Navy’s list, the House or Senate has provisions to save 16 of them. The final list of what ships will be saved will be worked out once the two chambers conference the NDAA.
The Senate Armed Services Committee version of the NDAA prevents the decommissioning of 13 ships, including the four landing dock ships.
The SASC version would also stop the Navy from decommissioning five of the nine littoral combat ships on the list, while the House Appropriations Committee would prevent four from being decommissioned.
An amendment to the House’s version of the NDAA, submitted by Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.), prohibits the disposal of littoral combat ships unless sold to an ally’s military. The Navy would place all LCS out of commission and in reserve status upon decommissioning, according to the NAVADMIN.
The House Armed Service Committee also included provisions in its version of the NDAA that would prevent the dock landing ships from being decommissioned as well as limits the sea service to four cruiser decommissions. There are currently five on the list.
The both armed services committees had provisions in their NDAA versions that prevents the Navy from inactivating USS Vicksburg (CG-69). The ship, which is almost finished a $200 million modernization effort, would be decommissioned on June 30, according to the Navy’s plan.
The modernization repairs currently being completed on Vicksburg could keep the ship in the fleet until 2030, USNI News previously reported. Work has been ongoing since 2020.
The Navy plans to inactivate the 22 Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers over the next five years, which would include Vicksburg, USNI News reported. Already, the Navy recevied permissioned to decommission USS Monterey (CG-61), USS Hué City (CG-66), USS Anzio (CG-68), USS Vella Gulf (CG-72) and USS Port Royal (CG-73) in Fiscal Year 2022.
The Navy decommissioned Vella Gulf — the first of ships — Aug. 4, USNI News reported.

PO3 Edward Riddle
Thank You Brother Steve for letting me know just how messed up our Military is becoming. I'm so concerned for our grandchildren and great grandchildren. The world they will be inheriting is looking very scary. Our higher ups have their heads up each other's you know what. I better stop right here or else.
