Credentials anyone?

Putting him in charge of the Navy is like putting me in charge of a beer factory, or a kid in charge of a candy factory. Bad Idea(tm). REALLY BAD IDEA(tm).

I’m retired Navy, been out 6 years now. Even though I’m sure have changed in that time, I’m sure haven’t changed all that much and this won’t go down well with the majority of sailors.

As far as I am concerned, John McCain was the worst candidate of the 3 serious candidates in 2008.

Clinton was a much greater threat to our nation than is Obama.

She is still aiming high though. She got her latest appointment for a reason. I do not anticipate that most will perceive that point as I do.

Maybe I just read too much.

After Bush chaos and incompetency, anything goes. I mean *anything*.

Nothing surprises from this point forward.

I understand your reference and will point out that it was made in re the Royal Navy.

As a 12 year veteran of the U.S. Navy I can assure you that sodomy is not a tradition, nor acceptable in service, regardless of the sex of the participants. It does, however, occur and is punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Sounds like an obvious 'back door' way to get the rules changed.

Tragically I believe the don't ask don't tell days are just about finished and soon gays will serve openly.

I also believe that it will last until recruiters and the individual services find they can't fulfill their quotas, then it may have to change back for national security reasons.

The final outcome of gays in the military rests with how many are willing or not willing to serve with homosexuals.

Only time will tell for sure. However the MSM and Academe, have been systematically defining deviancy down for decades and in the end they will probably win this battle too, only time will tell.

re: “Rum, sodomy, and the lash”

see link at post #33

Apparently it was not even said about the Royal Navy, or at least not by Churchill as alleged.

Probably some left-wing journalist just made up the quotation because it seemed useful......

Not sure if this Salazar guy who was put in charge of something today is gay but it fits in with this whole Village People concept.

Great. Now I have “In the Navy” by the Village People running through my head. Thanks a lot.

Here’s my revenge:
