I've come to the realization that most massive screw-ups are caused by three things...
1. Sex
2. Money
3. Stupidity
Combinations, of course, are allowed. And, given the choice between some massive cover-up or good conspiracy theory and the above three ... my bet is ALWAYS with sex, money, and/or stupidity.
It is a bit depressing to come to that conclusion, that there are people who will sacrifice nearly ANYTHING for a few minutes of sexual pleasure.
It drives home the point of just how powerful that sexual drive is in most humans, especially young ones in the prime of their lives...which happens to be the majority of those in the military.
Just another reason they should not be mixed. It isn’t the civilian world, I have no issues with that.
It is the military, and throwing all these young people of different sex together in a big metal pot called a warship and mixing it until explodes in our faces isn’t a good idea.
But hey, I am a sexist and bigot for saying so. So be it.
