There is nothing easy about the United States Navy 5TH FLEET Area of Responsibility (AOR); it is a difficult environment that is not intended to be navigated by the comfortable or the faint of heart.

In the history of mankind, warfare among the honorable has been an instrument of last resort when the safety and sovereignty of our families’ freedoms and liberties are threatened by a third-party aggressor.  At the same time, they seek for their families to profit from the termination of our existence.

On shore, some within the uninitiated and those who have never stood a watch in the defense of their freedom provide evidence supporting a predilection for casting words supported by zero evidence. False rhetoric that evidence indicates attempts to cast the historical conduct of the honorable in a false light as a form of disrespectful, vexatious threat or hostility (see Iowa Court Rules 32:8.4(c)).

Public servants who find the intensity of veterans to be difficult and disrespectful without any supporting evidence only provide evidence of how undesirable they would find the battlefield that trained, shaped, and conditioned them.
