It's important that Americans remember that the men an women serving in our armed are living, breathing human beings willing to put their lives on the line to defend our country. Proud to say my daughter served in the Navy. Very fine video.

      Hello. I'm from Russia. I read that in the US you can no longer call men and women men and women, is that true? I myself am related to the fleet and I believe that a woman on a ship should only be a guest. Woman is a symbol of peace, mother. It shouldn't have anything to do with the war. War is the business of men.
