Correct and yet it happens all too frequently already. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 29/09/2009 12:43:15 AM
then it sounds like you have a bigger issue.

I understand that male-female crews in a tight area can have issues, but if everyone's big boys and girls (and i mean behaviorally you dirty people), then I really do not see the issue. People aren't supposed to be having relationships and sex and shtuff on duty ANYWAYS, correct? (As in, within their military-groups, not with like...their spouses).


Now imagine the problems in the close quarters of a submarine and all the drama it could create between competing sailors trying to get laid. A submarine isn't an army base the size of a city or a carrier the size of a small village or town, it is tiny and very hard to keep things discrete and private.

And, no offense, but saying people should "keep it zipped" might be theoretically wise but it isn't very realistic if there are others aboard to keep it unzipped for. Men are men and women are women and there will always be people who can't discipline themselves so why create the possibility of it occuring?

It might be true in some situations, but it's a weak argument against this issue. - 29/09/2009 05:15:47 AM 462 Views
