Navy drops gun motto after sensitivity questions

It’s saying something when our own Navy has to be sensitive to people’s feelings as guns and ammo might offend their delicate sensibilities.
It’s the tucking NAVY.
it’s what they do.

The Navy football team has changed its motto for the upcoming season after reporters from The Capital Gazette questioned whether it was insensitive following last year's deadly shooting in its newsroom.
Navy's seniors originally selected "Load the Clip" as the motto for the 2019 season but replaced it with "Win the Day" on Friday.
Five employees of the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, died and two others were wounded on June 28, 2018, when a man with a shotgun entered the newsroom and started shooting. The Capital Gazette's office is located only a few miles from Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
"It is always my priority, part of my mission statement, for the Navy to be a good neighbor," Naval Academy Superintendent Vice Adm. Sean S. Buck said in a statement to the Capital Gazette.
"The bottom line is, we missed the mark here. The initial internal football team motto selected, 'Load the Clip,' was inappropriate and insensitive to the community we call home, and for that, I take responsibility for, and apologize to not only the Capital Gazette, but the entire Annapolis community."

"Clearly it's a metaphor that speaks to the fact we're going to battle every weekend, and when you go to battle, you need to have enough ammunition," Niumatalolo said. "It means you have to be prepared for the fight, and that is a process that happens every day."

Load the clip was dumb. Changing it is dumb.

Meh. No doubt, a lot of groups sometimes forget to "think it through" before putting things out these days. But really this doesn't seem to be one of those cases. Pretty much should have ignored the article and not changed shite.

Well, you can load a clip, and you can load a magazine, but a magazine is not a clip, and a clip is not a magazine, in much the same manner as a motorcycle is not a car. Both go vroom vroom, but they’re not the same thing.

God this country is full of fricking pussies.
The Navy is a joke that surrenders to Iran and can’t drive their ships in a straight line yet this supposed Vice Admiral is worried about the fricking homosex “neighbors.”

“Sail the ship” would be a better motto for the navy. “Load the Clip” sounds like a motto for the army. I don’t think of the navy and bullets.
