I  think this entire issue is a yawner and should be renamed, “Don’t Divulge and Don’t Distract.”

I have it from a reliable source, as radio newscasters used to say, that the real core issue here is the number of women joining the Armed Forces, that may be gay, and it is irking the daylights our of Pentagon old timers.

The fact the women will be allowed to serve aboard submarines in 2012 has some of those manly men all in tithers. My source tells me that is one of the underlying issues for the high command, and they do not dare speak of this in the company of any media.

In short, this clandestine whistle blower, who happens to be a career officer of 23 years, and is gay, is concerned about the entire issue of unit cohesion of men in combat being a huge distraction from their more primal concerns that are vexing to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. That being, women officers in combat positions aboard submarines.

I have no narrative to add to this rather startling disclosure, other than it may explain why the JCS continues to remain in executive research mode until the Fall.  Only time will tell if this Navy JAG officer is exhibiting paranoia or prophecy.

In the interim, we can be assured the educated readers of TC.com will add some narrative.
