Do you feel similarly about the sailors on our ships in the Caribbean?

I have relatives and friends that have some connections in the federal gov't.

All want to do the jobs they were hired to do. Some can still do so and some are hoping that eventually the ship will be righted.

Very few have the option to voluntarily walk away and lost whatever vested interests they have.
