#3 Ok, as a knuckle dragging Neanderthal hetero male, my first thought was "Oh thank heavens they are cute. Wow."

Honestly don't care what homosexuals do and am glad to see that they can just be themselves.

#4 We'll eventually be in the same situation as Australia, with submarines without enough crew to keep them maintained well enough to leave port for.... oh, no reason whatsoever.

#5 This had to be one of the most contrived, staged events that Navy has put on in a long time. I'm surprised they didn't have a band strike up "Anchors Away", and give both women the "public relations" and "political expediency" medals.

I can see how this began. Some Rear Admiral from the USN PR office tells the Captain and CMC of the Oak Hill that two good looking actr*sses are going to be on board for a week, and that using the "Pl*yb*y M*gazine technique", both are a little pr*gn*nt, so as to look their sexi*st, and that *nobody* is to interact with them at all. They will stay in their cabin and anything they need will be brought to them personally by the CMC.

The CMC is to round up some 'reliable' subordinates who will swear blind that they have been on the ship the whole deployment and are "highly professional and competent", and that the crew knows they are lesbi*ns and in a steady, committed relati*nship, and everybody is happy for them and *has not* harassed them at all about it, because everybody approves of what they are.

Don't let anything go wrong with this, Captain, and it will be smiles all around. Mess this up, and there will be much pain and retirement, for making the Navy look bad and p*ssing off our social experiment overlords.

Cynical much?

#6 It took me quite a while to figure out the prohibited word, there. Pardon the asterisks.

#7 So our Navy's mission is to make the world safe for gay kisses? I thought they were supposed to be a fighting force who's mission was to support winning wars. There are still threats in the world; there is China, Iran, Russia, North Korea to name a few.

#8 
Dear Lord, this Republic is well and truly F*ucked. I cannot believe how far we have descended in the last 35 years.

Whatever happened to no Public Displays of Affection or Military Conduct? When the bill comes due for all this "progressiveness" it is going to be brutal.

I just hope that when the sorting out starts, there is a large enough window to thin out the Left substantially. The world is on trajectory for another major world war, and when it comes this continent is going to take it in the shorts.

God help us, even though we don't deserve it.

#9 As long as it weren't male sailors...

#10 Probably less likely these sailors will become unavailable for duty mid-deployment due to pregnancy - a major problem with hetero-sailoresses.

#13 Gay, not gay....It's Non Sequitur to the Navy's mission. Enough already, they got what they wanted. Now they must rub our noses in it and we must say over and over again how much we like it.

The problem is, the people who told us there wouldn't be any problems with integrating the military are the ones who are saying "at least the gay soldiers won't have any problem with pregnancy" now.

"Why OldSpook, whatever do you mean?", he asked all wide-eyed and innocent. Maybe she is from Scunthorpe.

#22 I could be wrong, but it seems that the Navy is now asking young Ensigns to referee lover's quarrels on board ship between same sex sailors. Let the hair pulling and slapping begin!

#23 More than an adventure; now an embarrassment.

And how many J.O.'s got slammed for that little dust up in Vegas called Tailhook several years ago for letting willing gurls drink at the Rhino....
