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.

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:

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:

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

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.

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".
