This is the most non-news item for the year.

Agreed.
Breaking news: Sailors use interesting words. Video at 11. :whatever:

As much as I'd love to rag on the swabbies, the Army is just as PC-stupid.

Oh Captain Kirk, how could you. Wait, what, not that Enterprise? :rotf:
Loss of Honor would be a shame. Once you get senior officers second guessing every move they make we will PC ourselves right out of existance.
"Captain, should do we fire? Gee, I don't know, lets see how the crew feels about the smoke drifting back onto the lido deck during tanning call."

I've said it on several sites today, and I'll say it again--put it up against a 12-minute clip of Porky's, The Hangover, or Superbad, and then tell me how horrible it is.
Memo to CNN--STFU and report some REAL news.

Come on Sparky why would they want to report real news? Oh look, something shiny. :fuelfire:
Apparently DADT won't destroy the military fast enough. Hard to believe Granby Street ever existed, but then those were the days of Iron men in Wooden ships not ironing men wearing slips. :gay:
(btw I use to know a carrier nuc operator who had no problem expressing herself when irritated with very salty language)
-
Apparently what we have is some disgruntled Sailor, leaking to the news something from the Ship's CCTV. I'm in agreement with Sparky and the rest of y'all. Sailors who use profanities ?!?!?!? OMFG, the Earth is going to end!! ::)

This has to be the best recruiting video for life at sea for months on end that I have yet to see.
The XO now the Captain should be comended for the film and raising the moral of what 6,000 men and woman away from home in harms way.
BTW why was this released at this time, this is old news, is there something behind this release date.??
HI 55555 to the X0 that thought this up, darn it makes living aboard an aircraft carrier look like fun.
GOD speed to the now Captain, were my boys to be serving aboard that Ship I know they were in good hands---

The All Barack Channel started harping on this mid-day yesterday and hasn't let up yet. They're not happy when the Navy says it's investigating.
Good God. You'd think they were having orgies right on the flight deck. :whatever:

I forget when I heard about this. It was yesterday or the day before. I'm kind of surprised, with all of the news hawk here, that it hadn't already been published on the forum.

I watched the video yesterday on my main computer but I am not quite sure where I linked to it from and at the moment I cannot check because that computer went Tango Umbrella on shut down last night. {Most likely it was a MOBO fault, it has been getting ancey booting up for some time now.}
Anyway, I immediately liked Honor. Lets face facts, being an XO is no picnic. I am sure he was loved by his command as XO, unlike some I've known. This whole thing is just a bunch of PC crap. Amazing the things which could be solved with a blanket party in the old days. I know, not very PC. :hammer:

How convenient that this 3 year old video re-appeared just after DADT was rescinded.

Wonder if any lawsuits will come from this? The timing does seem specious at best.

Sounds like something you see on TV. The navy, like any military branch is full of profanity. Frankly, I did not pay much attention to this story. Not interested.

USS Enterprise Capt. Owen Honors Temporarily Relieved of Duty
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/sailors-defend-uss-enterprise-captain-owen-honors-debate/story?id=12530595
The U.S. Navy will temporarily relieve Capt. Owen Honors of his post pending investigation of the series of explicit videos he is said to have produced when he was second in command of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, sources tell ABC News.

Damn LIBERALS want to weaken us. They ARE enemies of the state.

Someone needs to. ***** liberals are going to be the reason this country falls. You're in this country, aren't you?
-
This is totally ridiculous. At the same time, as a Navy Captain, he probably ought to have had a clue that this could come back to haunt him in our bullshit PC environment where combat and killing has been reduced to a made-up word like 'warfighting' and touchy-feely goodness with radical advocacy groups in domestic society is more important to DoD than actually achieving anything of military significance in combat operations.
-
Yeah, I was wondering about that myself. As XO, one of his principal "duties" seems to have been that of "morale and welfare" officer and putting together those tapes - not just once, but several times - had to have crossed his mind as being questionable in terms of content.
I say that because Capt. Honors took great pains to mention multiple times that the ship's captain and admiral "had no knowledge of" the contents of the various tapes.
PC bullshit over and over and over again, thanks to the main stream media. :whatever:
The military is rife with examples of good people who are thrown under the PC bus, all because somebody outside the situation became "offended".
-
Just broke on Fox News: Capt. Honors is to be relieved of command. :argh:

What a bunch of ***** liberals. :censored:
Expect MANY people to be article 15'd, Article 32'd, forced to resign, or demoted all because some f'n homosexual gets offended. :censored:
-
What surprises me is the number of (supposedly) military folks who are wholeheartedly in support of letting the guy fry.
Seriously? WTF ever happened to the concepts of "timely correction" and "let the punishment fit the crime"?
Yeah, what he did was pretty damn dumb, but in no way justifies the level of hysterics we're seeing.

People, it really is us against them. We're pulling for the safety and success of a country while those dickheads are pulling for a f'n team. :censored:
I give it 5 years.

This PC bullshit is going to get a whole bunch of us killed.
-
I think this is being blow out of proportion. I personally don't have any issue with it but the thought he will be relieved of command over this disgusts me. :banghead:
My grandfather was in the Navy most of his life, I heard many stories about stuff that went on :)

What can we do? About this whole effed up mess the country is in RIGHT NOW...waiting for elections, hoping the newly sworn will uphold their promises, keeping the right from becoming totally disillusioned? THEY (Obama in particular) have so many fires burning at once we will need more than the local fire departments to put out this mess. I'm not giving up yet, just need a more defined and strident direction to STOP this crap.

It's Tailhook all over again. A witchhunt looking to appease an offended group after the fact. I wonder how many will have to pay the price this time?

That's certainly the way the press is treating it and the comparison they're making, but what this guy did compares to Tailhook like a mouse fart compares to a tornado.

I read some of the comments on FB, from sailors who had been on this cruise where the videos were done, and subsequent cruises with Capt Honors. They mentioned how high he kept the morale while they were out to sea, and how much it meant to them, because they were in a war zone.
My son was stationed on an aircraft carrier for 3.5 years. During that time, they were on two long cruises and a couple of short ones. Every cruise had a least one suicide, if not more, either during the cruise or immediately upon return home.
He has also told me that there were sailors - both male and female - that everyone knew they were gay. I'm sure there were several on the Enterprise during EVERY cruise. If there were major objections, at the time, there would have been complaints at the time! Somebody's on a witch hunt.
If these videos prevent just one suicide, then they served the purpose for which they were intended.

There was a small blurb on Yahoo news
http://news.yahoo.com -- (ftp://http://news.yahoo.com --)--. I agree with Deb, morale is very important on long stretches at sea

Humorless leftist ****s. There's nothing that can't be cured with serious round a major ass kicking and pronto!

Owen P. Honors Jr.
* BS degree in Aerospace Engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1983.
* Master of Arts degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.
* Designated a Naval Aviator in September 1985
* Completed initial F-14 training with the “Grim Reapers†of VF-101.
* Assigned to the “Be-Devilers†of VF-74, and deployed aboard USS Saratoga (CV 60) to the Mediterranean Sea. During this tour, he attended U.S. Naval Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun) and was selected to attend U.S. Naval Test Pilot School, graduating in 1990.
Etc, etc...
And he gets the boot for a dumb movie? When the Navy brass said that they were going to allow women to become Bubbleheads I knew right then and there that the Armed Forces as a whole was sinking fast.
-
The left has never been able to control the military like they control the media. It makes sense that they would want to destroy it through defunding, treaties (START), pussifying (repealing DADT) and politically motivated firings such as this.

This is a T-Total bunch of bullshit. Progressives' intent IS to weaken the military, which would weaken this country. They are enemies of the state, PERIOD.

Yes, I am in America, maybe somewhere in the tundra. Anyways, I think the person who leaked this video is a disgruntled sailor. I bet he or she has had trouble in the past.

The left has no concept on how to keep morale high especially in a combat zone.
All because a few limp wristed faggots got their panties in a bunch, a good commander who was loved and respected by his troops is left swinging in the wind.

This is a MAJOR point. Liberals are ALWAYS disgruntled. They see this country as the problem. Doesn't matter that people DIE trying to get here. :censored:
Damn I hate f'n liberals. When does it start? I'm past f'n ready. :censored:

I hope the Navy is happy with it's pound of flesh,so to speak.
