The article doesn't tell us what ranks the women held. I didn't serve on subs, but officer country used to be called Bachelor Officer's Quarters, aka BOQ; and I'd bet that some Naval Academy women are aboard.

The Court Martial should be interesting.

~“OKAY, what is your solution?”

Get rid of the women!~

You aren’t politically correct, citizen. Get your shovel and board a cattle car in your nearest rail station.

LOL! Can it be long before the interior spaces on our warships are re-decorated in trendy colors with lots of pastels, smart new designs and toney furniture? ;)

> Please, no jokes about submarines and sea men

Q: What is long, hard, and filled with sea men?

not to detract from the real point, but who believes any actual “videotape” was involved?

I make digital videos. We still call it "Footage".

The problem was the men who couldn’t (or wouldn’t) control themselves.


Yes, but where do you get the idea that it is reasonable to expect a bunch of young, virile men cooped up in cramped quarters for months at a time to be on their best behavior?

You can demand anything you want, but that doesn’t mean it is realistic to expect it to happen. Sometimes, you need to make allowances for human nature.

Not quite, but I’m sure that Barry’s naval policy advisors, the Village People, are on the case.

Well now does this Surprise you? If so you Deny the Truth way too much!

Sorry, But women on board ships and in the Field is not Smart and its not Going to work well. Yes, Women can fight, no doubt about that, but Natural Law and History show it is the Mans job to Defend! We have become a Nation of Wimps where Men do not know Who or What their Duty and Responsibility is suppose to be. Time for Men to Stand up and Say that’s my Duty! I do not want my Sister, Wife, Mother to have to Defend what I should be Defending. I know what is done to women that are capture and I’ll be Damned if I would sit back and allow that to happen to my family!

Wake Up America, Men and Women are Different and if you cannot recognize that FACT you are beyond Help and need TRUTH feed to you until you can discuss FACTS! Yes, Equally Pay for Equal Work no doubt, but that still does not mean Men allow Women to go into the battlefield Unless that battlefield is you Yard! That does not mean standards are changed or dropped for one sex over another.

By the way I speak from Experience, I know what happens when Women are on board Naval Vessels, so don’t tell me I have no Idea what I am talking about, I do have an Idea and I do Know exactly what happens!

Well, now that you bring it up...

When I was in high school, we had Naval ROTC, and one of the cadets was gent with the unfortunate last name “Cummer”. So, when they would drill, every once in a while, the instructor would yell out “Seaman Cummer!”, which sent everyone in earshot into fits of laughter.

“This battleship grey has got to go! A nice bright color, like cornflower or goldenrod would really make this place less claustrophobic. Also, we’ve got to move those torpedo racks, they are totally not feng shui.”

Long, hard, and full of seamen is how every sub should be.

They don’t care what we say about it, they demand that we try it their way anyhow. So I say, give em enough rope.

Of course. But sometimes the beat course of action is to take the course that eliminates even the possibility of misconduct.

Sometimes sailors, soldiers, marines, and airmen would be restricted to base not because they were all undisciplined but because the odds of one breaking the rules was greater than 0.0001% and it was too much of a risk to take.

The best way to stop folks from being lead into temptation is to nail their feet to the floor.
