There’s a larger story being overlooked here, IMO. How did this guy make it past O-6 with the drag queen show occurring in the first Trump Administration? Something should have been placed in his file then that would have ended his career before screening for a flag officer promotion. The extension of this same line of thinking is to question how Hegseth let this get past his desk & into a packet for Trump’s approval.
Always thought “bending over the barrel” was a longtime Navy tradition. Spending all that time out on the oceans, without a woman in sight, etc.
Seems like the A’miral must gave taken South Pacific too seriously.
Is the admiral a poofter?
“In WWII, it was considered a JOKE, not FORCED INDOCTRINATION of perversion.”
Exactly...
Maybe it was the grammar that threw you off.
In your photograph, I looked at the black woman dressed in jeans - far right. Who is she? Is she a sailor? If a sailor, why is she dressed in civilian clothes? If a sailor, how does she pass the PRT? Considering the “audience,” was an order given to attend this show? If not, then - in my opinion - all these sailors are guilty of promoting sexual perversion.
Making fun of and dressing up like Milton Berle or Corporal Klinger, is not the same as a fruitcake having a sideline career as an actual drag queen. Every high school talent show used to have members of the football team put on dresses, smear lipstick on and do some silly clod hopper imitation of a dance, for laughs, for ridicule. The “drag queens” of today are an whole other animal.
My comment is off-topic of this post and more on the novel “Moby Dick.” I read that book several years ago and it was several weeks of slogging through the text. The book is held up as a symbol of great American literature; yet the book contained a lot of long “paragraphs” of run-on sentences. Everything taught concerning grammar was thrown out the window concerning this book.
Getting rid of him took too long. At least he is gone now.
>> I found it interesting to look at the faces in the background in this image as a general indicator of the internal support in the military for this kind of crap...anyone notice a trend?
Good point well made, LOL! The “brothas” at the left appear particularly unamused.
>> This Admiral getting canned is a sign of health returning, not a sign of sickness.
A-MEN to that!
Apparently we need to bring back the lash...
They like that though.
Rear Adm. Buzz. This is the umpteenth play on words this morning.
Keel-hauled on the Nimitz.
“”””Nothing new, there are lots of photos of similar activities during WWII aboard ships and in POW camps.””””
You can see the 1939 difference in posts 33 and 35 on my father’s ship.
I admit, in his case, he seems to be enjoying it a bit much, but...as you say...it looks more like a diversion from pathos.
And with duty like that, who wouldn't look for diversion?
LOL, I think that is true. Who knows what they allow on board nowadays, though when I was in back in the Seventies, I took my skis, boots and poles aboard and stowed them in the overhead piping and nobody gave me a hard time.
Of course...it wasn’t heels and fishnets!
Whoever brought his name forth in the first place should be throughly vetted themselves. Why didn’t they find this out prior to nominating him, and if they did know, and went ahead with it, they need to go too.
