What alarms me the most is the lack of combat readiness. The patrol boat that was captured by the Iranians should have never happened and the behavior of some of the crew was embarrassing. That one incident was highly indicative of the lax attitudes of the chains of command who are more concerned with toeing the PC line to get promoted than to ensure their troops are properly trained. Not to mention the bravado of hostile militaries which freely challenge us because they're keenly aware of the lack of fortitude by this administration and the climate it has fostered amongst the ranks.
