New Zealand loses first naval ship to sea since WW2

DEI is problematic for the following reasons:

1. It promotes people not on merit but on gender/race and skin colour.

2. It ignores valid concerns as *insert*phobic, racists or sexist etc.


I said it before I had no problem with a female firefighter who meet the same standard as men. But the moment we lower the standard to include women, then they are not the same. In the recent KZN fires, only female firefighters died. This is a direct consequence of having different standards.


Now to the commander herself. DEI defenders will make this as an attack on her being female (we can already see the Defence Minister calling her a hero), however, an objective enquiry should determine the facts and the commander role in this fiasco, hint ships dont run aground if all protocols are followed i.e. someone f@#ked up.

My brother in the 90s and early 2000s was a seaman. Their ship ran aground. The Captain, the chief engineer and their next in line were all fired (The entire chain of command).

:ROFL: First prize and the other reason is they don't stuff up the trucks as much as men do.
There are a large amount of women in SA driving these monsters on the coal mines.

Did you enjoy sh1tting in a bag during all your deployments? Sounds really COD...or what movie did you get that from?

I've been through the military, mostly in the bush and have never shat in a bag in my life "while on deployment".

It's not that serious you know - don't tell me you're one of those people that can never be wrong, and an a55hole on top of it?

That shows you have no idea how serious losing a ship is. It's at a much higher level of shyte than pranging and writing off a car.

I was talking about the debate between us, not the incident itself genius.

My stance has been quite clear from the beginning how I view the incident itself, one would have thought you might have noticed.

Then open an off topic thread. This thread is about the incident. You know how this works. Genius.
