Very interesting--- I watched the whole thing. Wish he wouldn't keep referring to the present crisis as 'Covid' or 'pandemic'. ALL our strange new problems are simply crimes of politicians. But he's got a British accent so maybe he doesn't dare talk out of the box.

I'm not sure he told us what the Merchant Marine is (realize I should know already).

US seamen on merchant ships have near military status but in times of war are closer to the Navy in terms of regulations.

From Google: Merchant Mariners are not part of the military. Now, some of them run a number of ships that support the U.S. Navy, like the Henry J. Kaiser-class replenishment oilers and Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ships, as well as the sealift vessels like the Bob Hope-class vehicle cargo chips.

They have their own Merchant Marine Academy.

In the 1920s and 30s we were selling Japan all of our scrap steel. They were using that steel to build their war machines. People like Heorga Patton and Douglas MacArthur knew war was on the horizon. And it came to pass in December 7, 1941 when Janpan launched simultaneously attacks on Pearl Harbor and Manila Bay. ;)

The whole concept seems rather hazy. It includes Military Sealift Command, DHS *and* all commercial shipping vessels of US registry?
