women on submarines?and gays?
AND NO CIGARETTES?!
but then people may not suffer from second hand smoke when they are trapped on a submarine under the water with you for years at a time.
and they might think people should be treated equally.
is this a joke?! how is there opposition to this in 2010!!!!!!
i can't even joke around about this anymore. i can't believe people say out loud that women and gays shouldn't be allowed on submarines, and i absolutely can't believe they have the gumption to quote about it in the newspaper. much less say that the reason they are opposed is because they want to strip down and man hug. this is insane. grow up you little babies, frat party is OVER.
"Hormones do not shut down just because you go out to sea and submerge for many months at a time," wrote Mason, 53, of Comer, Ga. He said sailors rely on various coping mechanisms to deal with the stress of extended deployments, including man hugs, rear-end patting and other rituals; another veteran cited a tradition in which submariners who cross the equator for the first time are required to strip to their underwear.
"Serving on board a submarine is not a place to be if you are self-conscious or have any doubts about your sexuality," Mason added. "Silliness, male-bonding, and what might be considered inappropriate or 'politically incorrect' behavior in a civilian environment are all useful techniques that allow a sailor to endure the difficult living conditions and time away from their families and mainstream life."
