A former commanding officer could be dismissed from the Navy over numerous misconduct allegations after a night of heavy drinking with his crew while he was in charge of the guided missile cruiser the USS Anzio.

Officials relieved Capt. Brian K. Sorenson of command in September, according to a report from the Virginian-Pilot. On Thursday, the newspaper obtained a report from the Navy on its investigation.

No one takes responsibility anymore. It's always someone else's fault. From the article:

Sorenson later pledged to his chiefs and officers he wouldn't have another drink while he was the commanding officer. However, the report said he told the officers that they all shared responsibility for allowing him to drink too much.

What could go wrong with women on ships, women in combat roles, and men having a drink!

Oh yea besides women getting pregnant on these ships, sexual harassment, flirting in the ranks, special treatment given out, rapes are at an all time high on men by homosexuals and women by men.

Yep another day in the fairy boys world where it is all pixies and gold dust.

As a sailor myself, I’m shocked to hear of members of the Navy kicking back and enjoying themselves. Sounds like another smear on our guys in uniform. Were those who felt harassed “lesbians?” Just curious.

A captain who puts the moves on anyone under his command is unfit to lead, regardless of the subordinate’s predilections.

Nearly 75% overall of pregnancies among enlisted women in the Navy are unplanned

Every year between 1 in 10 and 1 in 5 women in the US Navy get unplanned pregnant

It’s ridiculous

Huge money waste and cost in military preparedness

The media and military loathe shedding any negative light on womyn or gays or minorities in the service

The truth is hard to get to

Like women pilot crash rates....try that one out for fun

I guess Capt. Kirk never got the Star Fleet memo.

We all knew what the real "prime directive" was.
