Those videos are one of those things that civilians aren't meant to see. I have no clue how many things we did on our ship during deployment that civilians wouldn't get. I'm sorry to say it like that but it is true. I can't believe that it is all of a sudden a problem now 4 years later. If it was truly a problem on the ship, the capt would have said something. It sucks for Capt. Honors, and shouldn't be happening to him.

Couldn't agree more.

Unfortunately we / they have not learned the no pics no vid rules for this sorta of thing. Pics have always been taken but that was well before social media sites. Putting the commie tree hugger types with agendas aside (no offense to the enviros here) we gentlemen; are our own worst enemy.

I saw this in the local news (Honors graduated HS 10 min from where I live) and it pissed me off, people need to lighten up. I would hope if your job description includes killing people you could tolerate a slightly off-color joke video.

I don't see how there was such a big issue with this video... I didn't find it funny or entertaining at all, but I also didn't find it offensive. I am confused as to how something like this video could have lead to all this. This is saddening.

Those videos.................. well, what I could see were fantastic. I would have loved to have a leader like that.

agreed with you. it's complete bs. life style in the military is completely different and like it was said earlier you can never cross the civilian and military values...boy i would love to see how america would react if they found out how the military changes people which aren't right in the civilian lifestyle and are completely looked down upon but its completely ok in the military life.

I think there should have been a good investigation on this. I also find it crap that it happened beore he was promoted. Seems as if it was really an issue it would have been addressed before that. Either way I can see why he was releived, as he is a senior officer however personally I find it nothing if not even close to what I saw or did while serving. Though his superiors felt different.

It begins again Squirrel----and like the "nut"case I am (pardon the pun)---I am fueling the fire on certain threads as well. Shame on me again.

i was doing some thinking about this earlier and honestly imo only ex military and people currently in the military should be able to state their opinion on this because they understand what its like to be a civilian and what it's like to be in the military. shoot me down idc because you can't argue for something if you don't understand the other side or where the person is coming from.

JCizzle

Well, anyone can state their opinion. It might be wrong or misinformed, but they can state it.
