My wife is a real fan of this show, so I've seen quite a few episodes. Just once, I would like to see an episode where the US Navy itself was made to look less than perfect.
To judge from this program, when you get promoted in the navy, you gain wisdom with each stripe. On the other hand, if you don't think well of the navy, you are a cad and a scoundrel, acting from the basest motives.
My father was a regular navy officer and my brother put 20 years in the navy (mostly on submarines) and they had plenty of examples of institutional stupidity in the navy.
