This is a media event. Some idiot journalist got their hands on the video… maybe even “leaked” by a disgruntled “alternate lifestyle” sailor and then an editorial staff whipped it into a feeding frenzy.
As any veteran on this forum well knows, the military is a high stress environment. We vent some of this stress and establish esprit de corps in ways which baffle… and would certainly annoy… some civilians. Some military rituals feast on irreverent and outrageous behavior. But then, war is irreverent and outrageous.
If one thinks that forced tweaking towards political correctness within the military will not have consequences to morale and esprit de corps, then that someone is naïve. If one insists on a co-ed, gay tolerant military, then one should tolerant the self deprecating rituals attendant thereto. Either you are part of the team… or you are not.
