Military sociologist Roger Thompson provides a compelling, often scathing, assessment of the US Navy and its learning disabilities, and then presents a convincing argument for reform. Thompson points to the US Navy's up-or-out promotion system, massive personnel turnover, inexperienced crews, and drug and alcohol abuse as problems that make it difficult for the Navy to build cohesive, well-trained fighting units.
