Uproar Amongst the Bubbleheads

I don't have to go surfing any of the navy blogs to know that the bubbleheads have all got their skivvies bunched up in a wad:
Women should be allowed to serve aboard submarines, and the Navy is “moving out aggressively” to make it happen, according to the service’s top civilian.

“I believe women should have every opportunity to serve at sea, and that includes aboard submarines,” Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said Thursday in a statement to Navy Times.

His comment comes one week after Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen told congressional lawmakers that he thought it was time to end the ban against women on submarines.

Mullen’s successor, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead, also said he is “very comfortable” addressing the crewing policy.

“There are some particular issues with integrating women into the submarine force; issues we must work through in order to achieve what is best for the Navy and our submarine force,” Roughead said in a statement. “Accommodations are a factor, but not insurmountable.”
Yup, the bubbleheads will be all a-twitter over this at the idea that their ancient boys-only club is about to have its walls breached.

Their wives will be even more upset because, after all, no man can be trusted to keep his dick in his pants. They're more than likely to be ranting about "only a slut would want to serve on a submarine."

Same old shit, different naval warfare community. All of the same tired old excuses as to "why women can't serve on our submarines" will be trotted out and they will be identical to the old excuses that were raised when women became aviators and ship-drivers. There won't be any real difference to the arguments that the submariners will make now.

Which is why they will lose and women will serve on submarines.

  1. Former bubblehead and current fleet support contractor here, with no particular emotional attachment to either side of this 'fight'.

    I'll be interested in seeing how it plays out.
