The sodomites will be up in arms over this, of course, and their sodomite-in-chief will come to their rescue.
I see a remake of “Mr. Roberts” in the future.
When this homosexual thing gets to rocking in real time a straight sailor won’t be able to sleep for all the moaning and groaning during sexual activity in the barracks.
And so it begins...
Sodomy is still against the UCMJ.
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?"
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."
[ Spunk approaches a Sailor tanning ]
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..
Wouldn’t it be the same sort of offense in a coed Navy? What’s the problem?
The law says you can’t be discriminated against because of your sexual orientation.
Fraternization among enlisted personnel, is still illegal, regardless of who does it with whom.
That’s what the dumbass in the Navy forgot. I don’t care if you here straight or gay, when you sign up, you obey the rules and if you don’t, you’re out of the service!
This crap more than anything else will force the return of the Selective Service Draft.
They probably worked at getting caught - they’re looking to go to court to ‘test’ the rules.
