The U.S. Navy will temporarily relieve Capt. Owen Honors of his post pending investigation of the series of explicit videos he is said to have produced when he was second in command of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, sources tell ABC News.
Capt. Honors is under investigation for a series of raunchy videos in which he appeared from 2006 to 2007. The videos featured a series of skits that aimed to provide some humor during the long deployment at sea. At the time the videos were produced, the Enterprise was operating in support of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
But the skits were clearly offensive to many people. A leaked version of one video, first reported by the Virginian-Pilot newspaper on Saturday, contained derogatory references to homosexuals and was filled with profanity. At one point in the video, Honors introduces a scene in which two female sailors pretend to wash each other in the shower by saying that "chicks in the shower" were his "favorite topic."

Oh Please.
I have deployed with every military branch except coast guard and Nat guard.
Have you seen restrepo?
We better kick half of the 173rd airborne out of the service.
From what I saw of the videos, the Commander did a great job of injecting some humor into otherwise mundane shipboard policy.
PC will be the death of us.
I suspect the queers in the military (and the queer CIC) are behind this......the chicks didn’t seem to mind.

But homosexuals serving openly is o.k.....right? Right?
It's a breach of decorum and is FAR too familiar.
Time to declare war.
True. And if he had authorized a video that made fun of straight white guys and DADT, freepers would be demanding the same straight white commander be thrown out of the Navy.
pending investigation of the series of explicit videos he is said to have produced when he was second in command
True enough.

Support for Capt. Honors
I would expect this behavior out of an E6, not an O6.
He made himself a clown, not a commander.
Doesn't have anything to do with dissing homos...it's about decorum and command.
I’m glad he wasn’t 1st in command. I can’t believe our naval academy is putting out officers of this caliber? Admiral “Bull” Halsey would have smacked him.
As an SSN sailor you must praise your lucky stars that the Soviet Union collapses so we are not dependent upon what a shadow of our former selves our SSN sailors have become. I get to deal with retired SSN COs in my present job, and they are so shell shocked that they would not know how to find a valve under a foot of bilge water or know what to say when they were told to go look for it. IOWs the whole lot impress me as incompetent wusses.
This incident is just another snapshot of America in decline.
Oh well - - it had a great run.
The "Media" only perpetrates those types of shenanigans where they don't face any consequences.
Putin, Pelosi , and Chavez know how to keep the enemedia in check, pity the retards that currently pass for GOP "leadership" don't.
???
"Underway"?
And the Captain of the USS Cole got a promotion.
Lavender lynch mob.
The PC witch-hunts have already begun.
Christians in the military who utter the slightest peep against homosexuality are next.
