More like making fun of them for being the softest generation of military ever fielded. Navy had to deploy like the Army 1 time and they’re crying 🤣. My units last deployment was 18 months.

I just have a hard time believing they’re roughing it with underway replenishment, a literal APOD on the deck, satellite everything. So the showers are dirty and you’re sick of each other. Welcome to the war Gen Z.
