there was a blurb on the news about how the Orcas and salmon in puget sound are being adversely affected by the noise of the jets. They said it is disrupting orca feeding and injuring them as the sound of the jets is loud down to 100 foot depths....

The Navy doesn't give a damn about the whales - they've been killing them for years with their underwater submarine "war games".

Let's not forget their desire to conduct night-time raids on our public beaches and parks in the guise of "training" for the SEALs and similar groups. Wondering when they're going to let the rest of us use their land.

Are you implying that it wasn't actually for training?

I've always wondered why the Navy can't just take their war games out over the Pacific 10-20 miles? It's not like they're down on the deck buzzing the river canyons of the Olympics. This seems like a no-brainer.

I don't want any more of them over my house, either. I realize they train over our area because it is sparsely populated, and has little political clout, but some days it sounds like they are actually hovering above town. The roar just hangs over our heads. I think it is because of the penis incident and we must be punished.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

A little too much hyperbole there, Mr. Ski. I am not going to champion the Navy here, but marine mammal surveys are conducted immediately prior to sonar ops, and if there are marine mammals nearby, the op is postponed. This costs the Navy millions each year, all set up and unable to proceed.
I won't be shedding any tears over the misfortunes of the Navy, but things have changed since whales began washing up with blood coming from their ears.

That was a genuine question meant to elicit clarification because I am not able to discern the motivations of your statement and I would have liked to. But now I'm curious what exactly I'm projecting.

They are projecting that you are projecting? 😌
