The outrage of the Enterprise XO

Blackfive  "But I sure as hell respect the stones, ability and discipline it takes to ride a rocket into the sky and then land it on a boat in the ocean. So unfortunately a good officer loses his chance to command the Enterprise over something this lame, but worse yet we lose a bit of our warrior spirit."

Captain Owen Honors  "As for the military high command, which reacted with knee-jerk speed by destroying Capt. Owen’s career, I don’t think it did itself any favors. When will traditional forces realize that the liberals in this country can never be appeased? A less extreme response would have been proportionate to the low level of the offense, and would not have fed the perpetual outrage machine on the Left. As it is, conservatives, with their abject overreacting keep conceding liberal points, even when the liberals really have no point at all."

Max Boot: Judging Captain Honors  "Honors seems to have not gotten the message, which calls his judgment into question. On the other hand, the military’s judgment is open to question, too, when it is far easier to relieve an officer of his command for a sexual imbroglio of even the mildest sort than it is for losing a battle or even a war."
