Breaking News: Captain temporarily relieved of duty
Predictably, many military types are defending Capt Honors remarking how much fun he must have been as an XO and, presumably, CO. From the above article:
"I served on Enterprise for the last three years of my 21 year Navy Career. I would love to go to sea with a man like this that can lighten up a extremely stressful job," wrote one, Gordon Wilcox.
"We all looked forward to those videos from Honors while underway. We can not ruin a good mans career for the sake of petty political correctness," wrote another, Shaun Valentine.
"I too was on that deployment. Capt. Honors brought up our moral and provided well needed and appreciated comic relief. We were underway for long durations, supporting two theaters of war simultaneously, he brought many smiles to a worn out & tired crew. I can easily say that all of the crew, ship's company & air wing embarked, appreciated the videos," wrote Chief Petty Officer Andrew Hodyl.
Yes, those simulated rectal exams were just ****ing hilarious.
More "rah, rah, go team, go to hell all you PC Capt. Honors haters!" stuff can be found at the USS Enterprise's facebook page here.
The thing I keep coming back to is that I can't help wondering why these manly men need to discuss, make fun of and simulate gay sex so much for amusement.
Really, are they just trying to cover up their own latent homosexual tendencies?
It's not even like it's much of a stretch, given that some of the most vehement opponents of gay rights are closeted gay bishops, congressmen, governors, etc.
