We need killers in the military, not murderers.
Do we know that he ws the aggressor -- or was he defending himself?
>>>... it adds fuel to the argument that women should not be deployed among men overseas or aboard ships.
Uncle of mine was a navy officer who had a major role in putting the women aboard. He explained to me his job at the time was to fill the billets and they either put women to sea, or the ships couldn’t sail. There simply weren’t enough men enlisting. I don’t think that’s changed.
The funny part was years later he received an honorary doctorate from a university as a pioneer in woman’s right. Feminism had nothing to do with the decision, it was purely a practical personnel matter, but he took the degree anyway and said “thank you” ;)
*sigh*
A predictable and sad response.
Why not brush the chip off your shoulder and look at the veracity of what he actually wrote? The juvenile extreme sarcasm bit doesn't fly very far on FR.
Idoits? Please tell me you’re not calling murdered sailors idiots. We have no evidence yet of any wrongdoing whatsoever by the murdered sailors.
He turned the gun on himself, which would tend to make him the aggressor. And would imply to me that the women had something going on.
“It is hard to imagine a scenario where he would be attacked by two women that he was involved.”
Yes, I can’t imagine what the two women would have against him. ;)
My husband was buried in a National Veteran’s cemetery in July. Immediately in front of his grave and one over active duty young people, same story. Love triangle.
Why? Women have been known to be rather tough and aggressive, too, you know.
Nor do we know who murdered whom.
Or maybe I should say — not do we know anyone was murdered or killed by a guy in self-fefense.
“And would imply to me that the women had something going on.”
Like he found out his girlfriend was bi or something?
“Don’t ask, don’t tell.”
If you can find evidence that the two women ambushed the man using a gun knife or some other weapon you may be on to something. Otherwise, from what is reported here is appears that a double murder took place.
“So then what? Don’t assign them to ships and don’t allow them to be stationed overseas, why not just ban them entirely?”
It's possible one of the deceased woman was the shooter...and turned the gun on herself.
Maybe he got to thinking it over and figured that (as is all too likely) a jury these days just might, like you, have him conviceted before he ever came to trial. So he chose not to spend the rest of his life in jail for having defended himself.
