Having never been in the military I don’t know how to read between the lines of the news coming from the front lines… or D.C., for that matter. The rules of engagement in Afghanistan and their possible flux considering McChrystal’s retirement were like ancient runes I couldn’t decipher… until Uncle Jimbo explained things. I’m mighty glad he did, too.

I remember Tamitha Freemen.
Harvey says:

"Lord, keep our servicemen and women safe, whether they serve at home or overseas. Hold them and their families in your loving hands and protect them as they protect us."

Excellent explanation – thanks for posting some rockin’ Uncle Jimbo!
(And I really, really want one of those shirts!)

I LOVE that shirt!

I want one of those shirts also – hint,hint
excellent information – You have to be there and live it to understand – So I cannot make any comments about todays military other then I am aganst woman on submarines unless it is an all femail crew – Mixing male & female in an underwater tube for 3 to 4 months is not a good idea – It is bad enough without them just think what it would be like with them and who will be the Alpha’s? Yes I know I get off topic

I don’t think having sex has a damn thing to do with one’s ability to do the job when it’s necessary. You either do the job or you don’t. If you don’t, for whatever reason, you get discharged.
I’m trying to imagine an all-female submarine crew and the potential for an action-packed porn film full of innuendo…
The USS Dildo’s Voyage to the Isle of Lesbos.
I think I should write the screenplay. I’m seeing a GAYVN award in my future!

I think he was speaking more to the drama that could ensue… of course, I’m assuming there is gay sex among the men… but women change things. Women, however clad in naval garb and able to do the job, are still women. Men…
Well. Did you know that when a man holds a baby his testosterone level drops? Probably wired that way for survival of the species… but on board a boat, healthy young heterosexual males are in full possession of their hormones. I don’t care how well trained they are, add in a few women and it’s Operation Petticoat all over again.
Now… probably a crew of half lesbian, half gay men would be super cool.

Operation Petticoat…
Maybe we need more women in the military – Peace through sex?
I’d rather **** than fight…

The hippies already tried that… I hold more with Peace through superior firepower.

Guns!!! drowl… gotta have that fire power. Though I totally agree that mixing men and women hasn’t worked in 1000s of years. All women or all men. Hormones are there to drive us to procreate… no matter WHERE we are. ;-)

That’s the truth! Women and men serve together aboard ships, but a sub is just so damn tiny… ugh!

Captain Karen Krotch, commander of the USS Dildofish, leaving the port of San Francisco. The mission: to find the Isle of Lesbos and the secret submarine lair of O.B.A.M.A., or One Big Ass Maniac against America, and take it out. Naval Intel has it that O.B.A.M.A. has been working closely with O.S.A.M.A., or the Operation to Stop Americans from More Affluence.
Okay, we’re rolling now…I’m seeing a Flesh Gordon-type spoof…
2. July 2010 at 7:59 pm
OMG!
You are the master!!
2. July 2010 at 10:28 pm
Ever seen Flesh Gordon? It’s a crack-up!

Nope, never have.
