		<description>I&#039;ll put my oar in these highly charged waters by saying the above example, if true, (and we have no reason to believe it isn&#039;t) EXACTLY proves my point about not having homosexuals serving openly in the service, which I made in one of my very first posts on this site. NO serving officer (or enlisted) should have to quietly bear the shame of being &quot;snorkled&quot; in one&#039;s sleep by a fellow officer for fear of retaliation and/or a CO saying in a &quot;he said-he said&quot; situation: &quot;A pox on both your houses&quot; and separating BOTH individuals for &quot;conduct unbecoming.&quot;   NO ONE should have to face that dilemma. Ever.</description>

		<description>Uh, this just in from the NY daily news-

&quot;In 1990, aboard the USS Jouett, I was awakened when a senior officer, Lt. Commander Massa, seemed to be groping me. (I was a lieutenant at the time.),&quot; Borsch wrote.

&quot;I believe he may have been drinking. I shouted at him and he left. I mentioned the incident to several other officers. I did not officially report it.&quot;

Clarke and another sailor told The Atlantic there were others, including Tom Maxfield, who allegedly found Massa in his bunk undressing him.

&quot;He wakes up to Massa undoing his pants trying to snorkel him,&quot; Clarke said, adding no one complained for fear of retaliation.

		<description>You might have qualms about commenting, Lex -- but &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/vp/35806912#35806912&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;others don&#039;t&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;You know, there’s something going on in the Navy. Now look, I’m not trying to knock the  navy or any military branch. They certainly do things that I haven’t done for my country and they have my utmost respect, but. You know, why did the Village People sing, ‘In The Navy?.’ There just seems to be a lot going on when you’re on a ship, you’re on the water, you’re away from home for a long period of time. I think there’s a mentality, a little like prison, maybe. You know, where, ‘we’re not gay, we’re just having sex with men because we are away from home for a long time’. I mean, some of these things that this man describes, you know. It’s always reminiscent, these guys who are repressed homosexuals, of this idea that somehow it’s just sinning. – Bill Maher.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
