The Queen bitch slaps the Navy by mistake.

I'm sure the Queen didn't realize it when she was speaking to the UN, but by saying that the UN is the "real force for good" she sorta (in my opinion) bitch slapped the US Navy.  After all that's their new motto.  This from SkyNews.

"You have helped to reduce conflict, you have offered humanitarian assistance to millions of people affected by natural disasters and other emergencies, and you have been deeply committed to tackling the effects of poverty in many parts of the world."
But the Queen warned "much remains to be done".
She explained: "Former Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold once said that 'constant attention by a good nurse may be just as important as a major operation by a surgeon'.
"Good nurses get better with practice; sadly the supply of patients never ceases."
She went on: "In my lifetime, the United Nations has moved from being a high-minded aspiration to being a real force for common good.

Wow, I knew the new Navy motto struck me as being odd, off and not worthy of a military organization...I knew that the new 'partnership' doctrine seems out of place....now I know why.

The Naval Services...US Marine Corps included...are beginning to act as if they were an armed NGOs.

Warfighting has to become central to our mission again.  Any and everything else MUST remain secondary...even partnership and war prevention efforts.

UPDATE!!!!!
My feelings on the Navy's Motto are well known.  What I didn't know is where the phrase..."a force for good" came from. 

Think Defence has his theory.  This is his statement from the comments...

A 'force for good' unfortunately started to creep into UK doctrine and strategy publications about a decade ago.

It originated with Robin Cook, the then Foreign Secretary, when discussing ethical foreign policy.

Robin Cook resigned over Iraq, one of the very few politicians with any sense of honour or conviction I disagreed with a lot of what he said but he was a formidable and very well respected politician, a rare breed these days.

Wow, I can see it now.  10 years ago a Lt. Commander was on exchange duty in the UK and heard Robin Cook a few times and got inspired.  He comes back stateside and is put in the puzzle palace and the call goes out to revamp the Navy's image with a new slogan...

Amazing.  Pure conjecture on my part but it feels right.
