No, blame political correctness. Put young men and women together in close quarters, whether in coed dormitories or the military -- and you will get trouble. Particularly girls who get drunk and still expect to be treated as a lady.

This happened because a group of young men and/or women couldn't follow orders and a code of conduct. If they can't live up to that code of conduct, then they have no place in our military, especially as officers.

Trying to blame the environment (being in close quarters), circumstances (alcohol involved), whatever - that's the easy way out, and one that most liberals take. I'm not saying your a liberal - I think your probably as upset as any of us are, and trying to find an excuse. The fact is, there is no excuse for their conduct.

It doesn't matter if it's young men and women or if they are together. They had orders and a code of conduct to follow. If they can't follow those now, I can't trust them to follow, uphold, and especially give orders just a few years down the road when they graduate, when they may have the lives of others in their hands.

I don't mean to excuse wrong behavior, and so you make a good point. I'm just talking about percentages. Place hormone-addled young men and women together in close quarters and a certain portion will get pregnant, cry rape (or commit it) and embarrass the Air Force.

The Bible has some wise rules about sexual relations outside of marriage -- avoiding temptation, dressing modestly, eschew impure thoughts, lustful looks etc. Getting kids so physically close for the sake of political correctness, not military strength, throws that common sense out the window.
