"STEVE BANNON SAID HE LEARNED TO FEAR MUSLIMS WHEN HE VISITED PAKISTAN..."

"...But the biggest problem is that the destroyer Bannon served on, the USS Paul F. Foster,
never visited Karachi while Bannon was aboard."

FWIW, a friend who did about a decade's service onboard Nimitz-class carriers a few
years after Bannon had recently related to me that there were literally gangs onboard
which made regions of the ship literally unsafe for him (despite being an officer) to go into.
Pot usage was also pretty rampant in this era as well.

Apparently, the priority in this era for the US Navy was to put their best into their subs,
and second best on Carriers ... which meant that the non-nuclear surface fleet (where
Bannon was) gets filled out with those that didn't make the first two cuts: the third string.
