Once this woman graduates into the fleet I certainly hope the enemy doesn't one day upset this delicate blossom with unkind words. PC is gutting the Navy I love.

[B4Ranch]

PC is gutting the Country I love.

PC is gutting the Country I love.

Sadly true however I purpose to continue "to fight the good fight" until they lay me to rest!

A sailor who made a crude remark. Now there's a capital offense.

Women who get easily offended shouldn't be in the military. That's obvious, isn't it? I guess only to me.

I was on a carrier in the Indian Ocean during the tailhook '91 scandal witch-hunt.

They made us have a one day stand-down for sexual harassment training....on a ship of 5500 men, no women.

[USNBandit]

"a "crude" remark"=three criminal charges.

I gotta know what he said. I can't think of anything dirty enough to warrant three criminal charges.

[coloradan]

I wonder if the Navy would change its tune if a few thousand members resigned, "because they were afraid they too might offend a member and therefore also face criminal charges."

[SevenMinusOne]

PC attitudes and JAGs throughout our military are causing more problems then most can even imagine.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yeah, that is more like it.

[SC Swamp Fox]

I must have the wrong year, I wasn't onboard in '91. Must google....

What's she going to do if the enemy captures her and tells her dirty jokes? Is she going to give away all the secrets.

[King Moonracer]

The remarks created "an intimidating, hostile and offensive working environment."

Amarosa????

[oldbrowser]

So, What was the joke ?

[Joe 6-pack]

"What's she going to do if the enemy captures her and tells her dirty jokes?"

Write to Senator McCain.

Remember when women demanded to be allowed to enter these institutions. It was said they wouldn't change a thing.

Hazing had been a tradition for centuries. Some of it was over the top, but much of it actually helped to build a strong toughened graduate.

Then the women entered the scene, and now it's even verboten to tell the 'wrong type' of joke.

Pansies rule!

Those who railed against allowing women to enter these institutions have been proven right.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, Amaroosa, "IS THAT YOU?"

LMAO, good one...

[RichInOC]

Okay, I glanced at the article, and I didn't see exactly what the remark was. Was it something Freudian about the guns?

[llevrok]

PC has more fire power in killing our military's fighting spirit than the MSM does!

[SauronOfMordor]

The Annapolis superintendent is running scared. He must be seen as running a tight "pro-woman" operation, if he has any ideas of getting his next star, so he's thrown this Lt to the wolves

I would refuse to serve under Vice Adm. Rodney P. Rempt under any circumstances

Its getting so bad that the military will have to recruit 25% more women so they can pull up the slack women give us one time out of the month. China is not PC and in the future are going to give us hell if it breaks out. Besides, China will have about 40 million surplus men to throw at us when the time comes and PC be damned.
