Just wondering if anyone who has posted on this thread has ever watched Saturday Night Live and understand parody or satire???
Certainly! Love the show, especially when they take the hot topics of the week and parody the situation. Can't wait to see their take on THIS issue (and trust me, they will. Too easy an opportunity to poke fun at stupidity by a senior military member to pass up). Got my DVR all set up to record the skit in all it's glory so I can watch SNL make fun of the Navy over and over and over and over.....
Wonder how ADM Roughhead will appreciate the fact that the service he loves and leads is now the focus of an SNL parody? Perhaps he may befriend those facebook pages in support of Capt Honors and tell them how much he appreciates that his time is now spent on responding to the media storm generated by this video over the other tirvial things he might like to do; like say, running the Navy.
Notice how the CNO relieved this Capt for his lack of judgment. EXACTLY what I have been saying all along. Take this as a lesson youngsters: we expect and measure our senior leaders on their professionalism and judgment, not on how well they can entertain the troops.
As to the contiued argument that this is only one of many videos and being taken out of context? How many times do I have to remind everyone: "build a thousand bridges, make a thousand good carrier landings..."?
