There`s nothing wrong with finding her attractive and lusting for her. There`s a whole lot wrong with a senior officer making those remarks on the job.
He is no nineteen year old private, for crying out loud. Obviously he isn`t even in command of his two brains, and yet he is to be trusted with the command over several thousand men?
If he had been at a San Fran gay pride parade in leather, or if he were at a gay pride parade in Europe and on the cover page on local news papers (which happened), would you have an issue with that too? Would that also be an act of “unprofessionality and sheer stupidity?”
It’s a non-argument you bring (holding him to an unattainable standard of perfection) and you’re not perfect either. Rank doesn’t make someone less a man, and what you have today is a military that wants a diverse crowd of pretty people, not soldiers. Instead of inculcating a culture of loyalty, team work, mission focus and patriotism, we are creating a military full of narcissistic individuals with a mercenary attitude. The real question is “who the snitch is?” How did a private conversation between a small group of peers get leaked to the public? That is what I would like to know.
