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."

"Aside from the fact the Honors is likely to lose his job, “the only other thing to look at is what’s going to happen to the others who were above him in chain of command at that time,” Carroll said. "You had the CO (Commanding Officer) of the ship and at least two admirals who were riding the ship as the battle commander at that time. If they didn’t know about videos they were negligent.""

Let the witch-hunt begin!

From foxnews.com: "Aside from the fact the Honors is likely to lose his job, “the only other thing to look at is what’s going to happen to the others who were above him in chain of command at that time,” Carroll said. "You had the CO (Commanding Officer) of the ship and at least two admirals who were riding the ship as the battle commander at that time. If they didn’t know about videos they were negligent.""

They knew and shit will roll up hill in this case...

Oh well - - it had a great run.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

This is all about the PC world that follows the repeal of DADT.

According to anderson cooper it was outrageous because the term FAGGOT was used to describe a wholesome moral individual who just happens to be driven to eat feces through no choice of his own... He should have called the poor soul a "gay".

I have not really used the term FAGGOT much before but now? Now with government attempting to intimidate people, attempting to get people to shut up and just accept homosexual sex as normal... hmmm...

I may just have to make a point of using the term FAGGOT just to spit in the face of tyranny...

FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT...

I will have to think about it...

Thoughts anyone?

how about just calling homosexuals “twiggy”

[navyblue]

Okay Chief, I’ve been in Pubic Bay and Manila, both of them dozens of times but I don’t get you reference to the Liberty Bell. Please advise.

xzins says:

This is silly. Videos about personal hygiene, rules and regulations, medical concerns, etc., were turned into short vignettes that were NEVER inappropriate. The military has long used “close quarters” humor to make a point.

“Sleeping on top of one another” has to be joked about just to break the discomfort associated with the reality of being packed in like sardines. You pack a 1000+ people onto a football field and see if humor doesn’t become an ally.

That’s all this guy was doing.

These are NOT “Hustler videos” and that’s the way they’re being portrayed. Can’t you smell a media hit job when you see it?

[xzins]

First, if I’ve read the article correctly, the video in question dated to 2007. IIRC, one isn’t liable for breaking laws prior to laws becoming laws.

Apparently, that doesn’t apply to “PC laws.” You can be persecuted for uttering “faggot” in your mother’s womb if someone has a sonogram replay of said event.

A faggot, also iirc, is a particular type of “queer.” The “Faggot” is called that because they are notorious for “flaming” and drawing attention to themselves by “flaming.”

We all know what a flaming faggot is, and if that’s to be allowed in the US military, then exactly how do you say leaders can’t bed subordinates, sexes can’t harrass at will, and marrieds can’t adulterate when the whim strikes?

Faggot
Faggot
Faggot

How do we make the MSM and the homoactivists pay a political price for this hit?

[DBeers]

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.

Waaa waaa -poor homosexual sex practitioners when will they get justice for having no choice but to engage in disordered sex?

Ohhhhh the humanity for those who act like out of control animals...

Big mommy government will save them -right?

[narses]

1 - Turn off. Stop buying the local paper, stop paying for cable TV, do not allow the MSM to earn a dime from you.

2 - Get married, stay married, raise a huge family in a God fearing environment. Set an example. Walk the walk.

3 - Get involved. Become a precinct captain. Organize your neighborhood. Recruit future leaders. Train them.

4 - Always expose corruption. Always. Evil HATES the light.

[Publius]

The “Faggot” is called that because they are notorious for “flaming” and drawing attention to themselves by “flaming.”

Let me disagree with you on this. Some 34 years ago, a homosexual explained to me that the term "faggot" had a different source.

During the Inquisition, when heretics were being burned at the stake, homosexuals were laid on the ground around the heretic and used as sticks for kindling. It is this use of homosexuals' bodies as fuel that inspired the word "faggot".

Sailors swear??? (eye roll)

You're absolutely right and even though Zer0 signed the repeal it's not in effect yet.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what's ahead for our once great military.

[petenmi]

I guess the term ‘rear admiral’ is going to take on a whole new meaning in the new navy!

Here’s a clip:

“A faint heart never ****ed a pig.”

Said to his crew by Capt Chester “Whitey” Mack when he made the decision to follow a new Soviet submarine close to Soviet territorial waters.

[DBeers]

Doesn't have anything to do with dissing homos...it's about decorum and command.

It all depends on the circumstances, the command, the custom, the deployment etcetera...

There are no hard and fast rules in the real world...

I was enlisted submarines, our relationship with zeros was much less formal and nonetheless respectful... I guarantee many respected and would have died under command and with these same officers that earned respect; did not demand it...

EVERY officer will have problems if homosexual sex practice is required to be respected... That is what this is all about

LOL -thanks for the laugh -much needed right now.

2012 will not come soon enough I fear.

The new Post-DADT Navy

Captain Ned: Now, men, I run a mans' ship. I will run it in a manful and masculine way! I will tolerate no men under my command who act in such a way so as to discredit their manhood and manliness! Do I make myself clear?

First Mate Spunk: Three cheers for Captain Ned!

Miles Cowperthwaite V/O: "If there were any doubts as to Captain Ned's severity, they were quickly dispelled that very afternoon, when a scuffle broke out on deck."

First Mate Spunk: That's my tanning spot! you! You're in my spot! That's my spot!

Sailor #1: You are daft! I've been here all morning. Now, run along, you are blocking my sun.

First Mate Spunk: Don't you give me any back-sass, you tan tease!

[ fight breaks out; Captain Ned intervenes ]

Captain Ned: Is this how men act on a man's ship? Where is your manliness? Fighting on deck is a serious breach on my articles of strict discipline! I'm afraid the guilty party is in for a very severe punishment!

Sailor #1: Captain.. I did indeed take Mr. Spunk's spot. I'm ready to accept my punishment..

First Mate Spunk: Captain! I threw the first blow. If anyone is to be punished, let it be me. I ask only that whatever you do, please don't put me in a tight-fitting Lassie costume and make me eat from a monogrammed dog dish.

Sailor #2: [ entering ] Captain, I encouraged this fight - punish me! Make me wear nipple-pinching clothespins, sir!

Sailor #3: [ entering ] Me, Captain! Punish me!

Captain Ned: Stop! I've heard enough! Your manly admission of guilt is most manful. However, as your Captain, it is I who must bear the full masculine responsibility! And therefore, I will be punished. Spunk! Take me alone! I want a boiling oil rub..

I am thankful that I served on fast attacks when I did.
It was a different world.
