U.S. Navy Not Fit For War

The daily duties of a commander is not to worry about weapons, especially Small Arms. I'm sure they know how to use it if it came to that point but I'm saying he doesn't deal with small arms ever unless he's Target practicing on his own

The commander should have noticed the improperly mounted scope and strapped that Gunners Mates ass. Not went along with the photo op.

I kinda wondered if it was part of a challenge or moral building exercise. it was part of some "shoot" that was going on on that ship. doesn't sound like anyone was qualifying at the event.

bad optics regardless, but I don't see much actual harm in it.

Could be. I know what would have happened to an armorer who handed our battalion commander a weapon with an improperly mounted scope even in jest.

I have to believe he “noticed” it as soon as he mounted the rifle. Looking in the entrance aperture of any scope of any useful mag is going to be freaking obvious. The pic shows casings being ejected so he clearly fired it anyway. A head scratcher for sure 🤷‍♂️

Navy missed an opportunity, rather than pull down the post, they should have captioned "We'll turn the scope around and still outshoot you #$%#@s"
 
It's the commanding officer of the ship. Definitely never touches a firearm and probably hasn't in 20 years besides the last photo op of shooting at the ocean.

There’s way more than just commanding officers not touching a side arm or rifle ( unless they have a personal one at home ) .

We should be purchasing Japan’s Taigei class submarines by the bushel.

And South Korea’s Aegis equipped destroyers.

Sad to see the arsenal of democracy become so hollow.
You are correct.we might as well let them build them rather than license them, spend a fortune modifying and years of delays.Like the new frigates.
