Barrett,

I want to congratulate you on your excellent article Fear and Loathing in the Post Naval Era currently in the June 2009 issue of the United States Naval Institue PROCEEDINGS. I've had the issue sitting on my coffee table for a couple of weeks and I have finally got around to read it. You bring up many interesting and unpopular points to your article that needs to be said, explored and debated that concerns the future of our NAVY. I've been a member of USNI for over 20 years and to be honest I have been thinking form time to time to end my subscription because PROCEEDINGS which is suppose to be apolitical has not been in the recent years. Your article is reminiscent of what PROCEEDINGS used to be and should be. In fact I will say your article may make current Naval leaders aware and proactive in that U.S. NAVY doctrine needs change that hasn't happened since Alfred Mahan not only in the survivability of the U.S. NAVY as we know it, but the United States as well. Thank you, sir.
