Yes, I agree

And it seems their pay is crap for the amount of time they spend out at sea.

Did you not know the ceremony today was for a specific event honoring specific individuals?

As is every ceremony that takes place there.

It seems you want excuses for neither Biden nor Harris attending. That's probably for the best as they both share responsibility for that cowardly and botched withdrawal. I can't imagine the families would have wanted them there.

I wonder why the US Navy would rather retire the ships than raise the pay of the sailors who operate the ships?

Because the US Navy does not pay the Merchant Marines. They are not US Navy personnel. What is so damn confusion about this for you?

The Navy owns the ships and are in contact with whoever does pay the sailors

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The Fed Govt awards contracts to the companies that operate the Merchant Marines

That is all. And the Govt is famous for going with the lowest bidder

The Navy put women on ships almost 50 years ago.
