" ...if it was for this countries fantastic navy..."

Thanks for protecting us from those scary diesel submarines in the dreaded Navy of Peru.

I hope the US Navy gives you some basic adult literacy classes.

"live fire exc should happen without public warning"

Is this about protecting us from some credible threat?

Or is it about playing with your neat, expensive, new, high tech toys?

Since the military can't find any real enemies they will go after marine mamales.

Arinduty Roy may be right "the time for peacefull protest are over.

The only REAL enemy the US has, the US made! The US has dropped over 100,000,000 TONES of bombs on other lands, killed over 16 million civilians since after WWII and occupy 130 countries, while robbing Americans of their hard earned cash. Anyone that can't see this as phycotic needs help. Don't believe me look it up!

I support our service members in the Navy, but I don't support the Navy doing this.

The US military thinks it can do as it pleases to the planet in the name of "defense". They are too short-sided to know that their actions, as well as those of its corrupt fascist corporate friends like BP, can cause irreversible damage to the oceans. All this in the name of building the dying, corrupt American empire, in the process of rotting from the top-down. This has nothing to do with national security.

mrjustin5, Your almost 100% right, but you don't know much about China! If you don't think they'll ever attack America, look it up, its already planed and on the NWO schedule!

Navy LIES and doesn't care to put forth any reasonable mitigation-they've been using sonar and taking marine mammals under a sham NMFS permit without assessing the destruction they cause -now under a court order they must begin this puppet dance of a public comment period-have fun serving in your illegal Navy "theaccidentearlier" and be prepared to become a mouthpiece for more lies- just remember-all you are to the military is CANNON FODDER.
