It wasn't that 'specific'. The part left out started in the middle of section 8 with "To provide and maintain a Navy;"

Do you think the current administration is wanting to remove its ability to provide and maintain a Navy?

Looks like a simple copy/paste error to me.

Trivially, of course. To purport otherwise as this author has leads me to think, not remotely for the first time lately, that people would be wiser more often to heed labels saying things like "take with food" and "do not operate heavy machinery." (This last is a stretch, I grant you, but I've seen what folks in their 20s call upper body strength these days, and any mechanical keyboard with a steel baseplate likely now qualifies.)

I anticipate with mild annoyance your like insistence on calling my claim, that this is an example basically of a US government employee half-assing a job that sucks and they hate, a "conspiracy theory." It isn't, of course. It's just that I understand what to be afraid of and you don't, so you're constantly terrified and incapable to reacting to any development other than as a kicked dog, and I'm Wittgenstein's lion. Oh, not for the sake of the damned mangy cat! But there's nothing I can say that you are able to understand, not at the moment at least.

You're way too scared for today and not nearly enough for half a decade from now, when we'll all be wishing we had made the most of this time while we had it. You could do better, but you probably won't, because even right now you're wasting the same time being angry at me for tossing off a read like this.
