Who decides his fate - facebook or the USN?
How many of these facebook supporters actually served with him or do him directly as a USN officer?
On GMA this a.m. Wesley Clark was being interviewed regarding this issue, and he even alluded very strongly that there will be more fall out.
1. The younger officers are now going to be interviewed.
~~~Hmm, let's see do they sacrifice their career for him, or do they sell him out?
2. The leadership will now be reviewed to see if they did indeed reprimand him for these videos or did they turn a blind eye to this?
3. He was a leader in power and he should have always been thoughtful of how every sailor would perceive this video. His job is to protect everyone that is under his command...that includes the gutless, fags and women he offended.
4. This could be the "tailhook" of the 21st century and careers will fall.
Clark did defend him by saying it is a high stress environment, but that is about as far as his defense went.
Just wondering if anyone who has posted on this thread has ever watched Saturday Night Live and understand parody or satire???
JAM, everyone has seen SNL, but tell me, in the corporate world for all of us who watch SNL, do any of them write your OPR or PRF? Does anyone of us have to report to these characters/people in a war time environment? Imagine being that 26 yo closeted gay O3 member and your lifestyle is being attacked by the person who decides if you get to go to TPS. Imagine being the female enlisted member and the talk on the ship is about the shower seen.
Where is their escape? How comfortable as a woman would you feel?
In the corporate world he would be a SR VP for a company like IBM. Tell me, if he did that would he still have a job the next day? No, he wouldn't! Why not, because it is harassment.
You have a DD, how would you feel if she was offended by it, but because of the good old boy system she knew that if she spoke up her career would be in jeopardy...afterall, he knew as a leader people were complaining and instead of ending this, he called them gutless to 5K people. Would you still defend his actions if she was one of those "gutless" people.
You support the repeal of DADT, how can you support him when he insults homosexual lifestyle.
He created an environment of fear...it is either you are with me or against me in these videos.
Honors is not going to be the only one to lose their career, there will be more fall out because now this is a national story on every network, craniums will roll. Welcome to Tailhook 2011
