Well, I’ll venture that his career is dead for real, no faking needed.

I have always said that the biggest vulnerability of men and even extraordinary men wasn’t alcohol, gambling or drugs. It is as it has always been there inability to walk away from the temptations of sex.

Certainly not the type you want in command of an attack submarine

accused [...] of getting her pregnant

If only there were something she could have done to prevent that.

Oh, wait...

Well, the plot certainly thickens.

Conduct Unbecoming - is that still on the books, or has that been thrown out too?

Agreed. Poor judgement on several counts.

Which is why The Honey trap was always the most successful espionage tactic.

He should run for office as a Dem in Massachusetts.

This is a photo of Michael P. Ward II taking command of the USS Pittsburgh on August 3. A week later, he would be relieved of duty. No doubt one of the shortest commands of a submarine in Naval history.

Major fail! When the UCMJ gets done with him, he'll be swabbing decks.

Navy [submarine] Cmdr. Michael P. Ward II is accused by a 23-year-old Chesapeake, Va. woman of getting her pregnant....

What's big and round and full of seamen?

then sending her an email in July that indicated he had died.

That woman must be very gullible.

He’s not the first, nor the last sub officer, to have his torpedoe, torpedoe his career.

Sounds like something from NCIS. Gibbs always finds the truth.
