----While I understand that this conversation was meant to be frivolous and funny it still is revealing. These guys have no concept of responsibility, duty, or honor.----

Man, no kidding. The themes of responsibility, duty, and honor, the question of "what maketh a man?", were at the very core of "The Cage", and yet the only thing these snickering jackasses get out of the episode is "man, I'd abandon my ship and crew to get some from the hot chick on Talos!" Not coincidentally, this notion of pursuing personal gain at the expense of the people one has served with exactly sums up John Kerry's career.

A DUmmie brain confronted with the concepts or responsibility, duty, and honor would melt down just like one of the culture-controlling computers fried by a Captain Kirk speech.
