Another victim is fooled.
A little not-so-serious for a moment
I just remembered... this topic has appeared in popular culture before! There was the Das Boot parody on SCTV (the plot centered around a fictitious gender-integrated WWII Nazi submarine). +1 to the first SCTV fan who can remember the title of that episode

Are those supposed to be sexual or just goofy?
Shoulda let it be. It's more fun when people don't get it. Especially after the clue was already posted.
Just wanted to throw a little tidbit that might come in handy fighting off feminazism. The verb, "man" as in, "to man a station" comes from the Latin word "manes" which means hands.
It has nothing to do with the fact that only men can use their hands well.
Just in case anyone missed it last night... Ray Mabus on The Daily Show addressing the women on subs issue.

I listed to all the 'women' argument back in flight school in 92, right after Tailhook when women were allowed in combat. The sub drivers wives who are arguing they don't want women on the boats don't have a leg to stand on.
As long as the navy maintains standards (which many argue it did not in the early 90's when it came to female flighter pilots) it shouldn't be a problem.
Once they answer the room/head issue for women on subs, the next discussion will be how to incorporate openly gay military members into units. (Sorry if this is a threadjack)

2-Star General makes pregnancy an offense punishable by Court Martial
Waiting to see if this policy becomes the new norm, or if someone else is stripped of command due to loss of confidence. Because really, it could go either way.

How is this different, really? It's already an offense to have sex in theater which is punishable by the UCMJ, pregnancy or not. This is actually a slightly weaker restatement of that policy. It seems to say that you're not really in trouble unless somebody gets knocked up.
Yeah. I agree with the General's philosophy and can appreciate his position, but this is in direct conflict with established DoD directives on the pregnancy matter. Punish people for violating GO-1, but the pregnancy thing ain't gonna hold water. I'm frankly surprised that his counsel advised him that that was OK.

Women on subs? I'm down with it.
