In July, 2020 a fire broke out on the U.S.S. Bonhomme Richard (LHD6) in San Diego. This week the trial of Seaman Recruit Ryan Sawyer Mays, charged with aggravated arson in the fire, began. Mays is also charged with hazarding a vessel, which carries a potential penalty of life in prison. Every. Single. Action. In this situation is emblematic of the larger problems that afflict the Navy and our military as a whole. If this is not rectified yesterday, our military won’t be any good against the Rhode Island League of Women Voters, let alone the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.
