It used to be said that rum and buggery kept the navy afloat. That was the Royal Navy of course. Such things would never happen in the US Navy. Right? Wouldn't be tolerated. Not politically correct.
Seems Captain Owen Honors (great name!) learned that lesson the hard way, having lost his position as top dog on the bridge of the USS Enterprise over... what... some stupid videos?
I saw the vids, or at least parts of them. They're not funny! And I don't mean that in the feminist, politically correct way. They're just not funny! Really, haven't you seen funnier stuff than that on Family Guy? Sure! Or even America's Funniest Videos.
Message from Walt to America: Lighten up! Cut poor Capt. Honors a bit of slack! This is no worse than what people do at parties, picnics or other social gatherings -- letting their hair down and having a bit of fun. Guys -- or girls for that matter -- can be equally lewd, crude and obnoxious on a night out.
Let's not forget too that people in close proximity for months on end need lighter activities to relieve work-related tensions and stresses and boost morale. I believe doing so was Capt. Honors' intention, nothing more.
What really bothers me about all this is how seriously everyone is taking it. America is in danger of being the land that fun forgot.
