Britain Is a Far Cry from What It Once Was, Especially Its Current Military
When I saw the news on Andrei Martyanov’s latest podcast that Britain’s Royal Navy posted a job notice for an Admiral to run Britain’s submarine service I thought he had been hoodwinked by the Babylon Bee. Nope! Andrei, as always, is on top of the latest developments. Several media outlets are reporting that:
The Royal Navy was forced to advertise for a top job on social media in a move described as “utterly shameful” by military sources.
Navy chiefs posted the advertisement for the £150,000-a-year rear-admiral position on LinkedIn in December as it struggled to fill the role internally. . . .
The chosen candidate would replace Rear-Admiral Simon Asquith as director of submarines and would be responsible for “elite operations” and the nation’s nuclear deterrent.
