RE:"As it turns out, an ex-admiral was responsible for getting the civilians onto the sub that was responsible for killing 9 people. He was the same admiral who, upon hearing that some of his men had raped a thirteen year old in Okinawa, suggested that they might have gotten a prostitute instead. That's why he is an ex." You really do hate the military don't you? I hate it when people act irresponsibly and others die as a result. I hate it when someone is so unfeeling, so stupid that he would equate a thirteen year old Okinawan with a prostitute. What about you?" Just how did an Ex-Admiral get these civilians on the Sub? It's standard procedure to let civilians on Navy ships. After all, they pay the bills. Where do you think they get the ships to make war movies with? The Navy let's them use them for promotional purposes... RE:"RE:"Is he a friend of the Bush's" Seek some help Ted... Sorry, Jim; you are no position to judge my mental health...." Associating a 13 year girl who was raped with GWB is sick regardless of who's qualified... Jim

I hate it when someone is so unfeeling, so stupid that he would equate a thirteen year old Okinawan with a prostitute. His statement was unfeeling and stupid, but I don't think it equated a 13 year old girl with a prostitute. It was basically a statement that if the sailors were so horny they should just have gotten a prostitute, that it would have been simpler and they wouldn't have hurt anyone or gotten in trouble. Not a statement that should have been made at the time but while it was insensitive I don't think it was made as a put down of the girl. Tim
