This video is so tame. The gal was laughing throughout the whole prank. MSM and other elitist pols have no clue what it is like to be deployed around the world and in harm's way. To the MSM hacks, PC pols and and Pentagon brass...just let it be. There was no harm done. This is just some innocent fun by some of our troops who are stuck in an armpit of a desert. In my Navy days, we did far more hazing that pushed the envelope. Try crossing the equator on a Navy ship to earn your shellback card! Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I have seen pictures of the shellback ceremony.

Oh, the humanity!

Damn straight! Shellback, Golden Shellback, and Bluenose here. No freaking big deal.

What no one seems to realize is that the same people who were duct taping her to the pole would probably crawl across broken glass and take a bullet to see that she was kept safe. I never saw anyone that was harassed like that unless the people doing it either did it out of hatred or out of fun and respect, and you don't tickle someone you hate. If that was my daughter they were doing it to I would be laughing my butt off and helping to hold her down.

Been there, done that, and you are entirely correct.
If some of the things that were done to me during that initiation ever hit the airwaves, the Dems would have a field day.
