Living conditions on all ships are similar to Carriers
I served on a nuclear powered cruiser as part of a battle group. Many of you that speak of a carrier being a "target" do not understand how battle groups work or the strategies of the Navy. At some point I think people need to realize without first-hand experience, you probably aren't getting all the information to make a solid opinion of the subject.
This documentary looks interesting because it represents or tries to represent the reality of part of our military. You could argue all you want that our military is not needed or that this is idolizing war. However, it is reality. We have a military and this doesn't look like it's going to change no matter who the president is. So if someone tries to represent that reality, you immediately condemn it and the people it represents?
Perhaps you should see the documentary first and accept the fact you don't know everything about the topic before forming an opinion of it, or the people who live in the military.
