| Criticism of Beak Atkinson (Response to) | Capt.USN (Ret) '54 Submariner |
9/19/01 |
Dear Waugh -- just read your diatribe against Beak Atkinson. Then I looked up your credentials in the 1999 Naval Academy Alumni Register and find that you aren't even a graduate on the Naval Academy. You have no real Navy background.
You're a physical or mental bilge out or resigner or whatever. You sound a bit like that loose cannon John McCain III. Anyway, you have a lot of unsubstantiated gaul in accusing Atkinson of post-war rhetoric.
For your info, and you seem lacking a lot of it, Beak
was a fairly well decorated Navy pilot during combat in Vietnam. Not the silly
civilian Monday morning quarterback.
Don't know why you have the burr under your butt about
needed criticism of USNA's ethics course, and other features of the school which
are producing below average Surface Warfare officers in the fleet, but
you've got your head in the sand. Wise up Arizonian.
Sincerely,
Capt. (name withheld to protect the ignorant) USN (Ret) '54 Submariner
