So, one vengeful gay sailor takes out an entire ship, creating a 3 year hole in naval capabilities? Holy insanity.

Surprised they didn’t promote him to try to help ‘heal’ his angry spirit

“showing disdain toward the Navy”

Yeah, I don’t know if “disdain” quite captures it.

Lots of sailors hate the Navy. Even if he did it, the fact that a bucket of rags could burn a ship down is testament to just how pathetic the Navy has become.

Why exactly did his "leadership" allow a sailor known for his disdain for the Navy to remain in the Navy?

I was in the Navy for 6 years. If they got rid of everyone who said they hated it they couldn't man a PT boat.

We used to know exactly how to deal with traitorous scum like this.

So that we may see of whom we speak.

His handiwork ...

Some reports indicate that the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was insufficient for him.

“the Navy has bigger problems than one sailor.”

Don’t forget the Iowa explosion. I believe Japan had a worship sink during WW II under mysterious circumstances that they concluded was due to one man.

Given how they are converting the navy, expect more of these events after the conversion.

Doubt they are covering for a contractor, the government would receive some money if a contractor was deemed to be at fault.

Hmmmmm. A strong dislike due to the SEAL assclowns not recognizing his superior abilities and failing to give him the trophy he so deserved?

I’ve never been in the Navy, but it would seem to me that the careers of a number of Naval Officers should be in real jeopardy..

Never been around a homosexual thst didn’t have a deep seated anger just under the surface....very unhappy people. Which is kinda ironic considering their wanting to be referred to as GAY.

It most definitely is a death penalty offense, no question about that. “That’s not who we are” and all that rot. Pretty sure the Ft. Hood jihadist is still cooling his heels in a cushy jail cell somewhere.

Sleep Well, America!

I read yesterday that he was upset because he was washed out of Navy Seal training.

That's some major damage. Anybody know what his punishment will be, besides a DD?

Hated the Navy? Why isn’t he charged with a “hate crime”?

The other article on this says he had a girlfriend who broke off the relationship.

Also said he was bipolar, and failed out of Seal training.

I’m guessing this young feller won’t like his next billet.
