Navy Captain Relived of Duty

wow....the XO of the USS Enterprise was involved with lewd videos that poked fun at Homosexuals, Lesbians and masturbation...................that sound you didn't hear was crickets in the distance....as in...who gives a f*k ?....... as Steven Tyler stated so correctly 20 years ago and still appropriate."Theres something wrong with the world today".......i mean seriously, enough with the application of civilian morals and standards to the Military.....it's not the same, the military is a world unto itself, there are a different set or norms and mores that are adhered to.....when you pull away from the dock as i can attest ( and I am sure the Marines, Army and Air Force are similar when they deploy) everything changes......the stress levels increase dramatically , the class structure changes, suddenly it is survival of the strong.........i have never been, but i imagine it is similar to a prison environment, you exploit the weak and find a niche to survive.....you are sailing away from your home and there is no certainty that you will ever return, civilian rules and politically correct behavior do not exist. The task of this XO and the Senior Command of this Carrier was to get 6,000 men to forget about their wives and children and do what was asked of them, even if it cost them their lives......tell me exactly how some fatass lawyer in Virginia and the ACLU would handle this task....who gives a shiite what course of action this XO took, so he made some videos, he tried to inject some levity into the situation, show the crew he was human and has a sense of humor, we know the civilian world is too sensitive, we know there is a great deal of the population that is waiting to be offended by something so they can sue or go to HR , we know PC is suffocating social debate and everyone looks over their shoulder before they state their opinions......but this CAN't cross over to the Military......Dont ask dont tell was nonsense , there are gays in the military , always have been , and always will be......just like High School or any other social situation, some guys will torment and torture suspected gays and others could give a dam so as long as they do their job like everyone else. What happens overseas or in combat or anywhere the military is deployed, cannot be litigated in a court room, should not be dissected on larry king live and should be left to the Military to handle.

i'd love to see the unedited videos from that ship, i bet they are hysterical.
