Ships medical literally had a bowl of condoms on the desk right when you walked in the office. Basically the idea is "we can't stop you from being sneaky and banging in a fan room, but if you do, wear a rubber please."

I've done multiple deployments to the Middle East in the Navy, and I can tell you that while sure pregnancy will take someone off the ship, there are plenty of things that can happen that will get you sent limdu for an entire deployment or permanently removed from the sea duty cycle that don't involve pregnancy or women. Removing all women from all ships would be a terrible loss of talent to the Navy.

Of course you're probably advocating for removing all women from the military entirely, which is a completely different mess that isn't worth considering.

I can't believe I wrote an answer to someone whose post basically consisted of :biotruths:

Women in fox holes will get infections! Their menstrations attracts wild beasts in survival situations! GIs loving eachother is an abomination!

If you're worried about costs why not focus on procurement instead of pregnancy? Better debate the financial burden of women in the military instead of all the tanks we buy that no one wants.

Is anyone surprised? Like, actually surprised?

I mean, where a regular, sane president would call up the FBI director and say "Hey Jimmy, what's the deal here?", he instead decides to accuse the previous president of highly illegal electioneering. This whole situation is just so goddamn bizarre but at this point I'm not surprised.

Twitter should just o ahead and ban his account. If he wants to loving tweet, do it through @POTUS

Whats the Navy's stance on contraceptives? If there's nothing to do on the ocean but gently caress, might as well give them some condoms.

Ships are so cramped that there's almost no way to get it on without being noticed. Granted most of us also don't care, but the general threat of being caught by someone who does care keeps people from boning. Sometimes this doesn't deter anyone, there are pretty well corroborated stories about chicks on carriers who are complete nymphos and everyone just sort of being silently ok with it until you have that one neck beard who is too ugly to get any.

ManMythLegend has probably heard the grapevine of whose doing who. The real risk is drama and people being angry over poon, not pregnancy.

I'm curious as to why he doesn't use the @POTUS handle for these stream-of-consciousness tweets. I've got an idea that he feels the office is beneath him or that Trump the brand is far more potent than the US presidency. Speaking at his supporters through that handle isn't adding credibility to the man himself.

I dunno. Just a few thoughts I have.

He only uses the @POTUS account to retweet his @realDonaldTrump account anyway. I think he thinks he can say whatever he wants on his normal account but not on the @POTUS one, maybe?

It's because He is actually SA poster Lindsey O. Graham and knows the stakes are real.

It's not the record keeping thing. It's literally because he doesn't want to start over with new followers, he thinks his current follower number is more important. Not joking. @POTUS had 13m, @MangoMerkin had 18m, so he kept @MangoMerkin. http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/02/media/donald-trump-twitter-accounts/

Previously, the shortest national security advisor was in the Eisenhower administration, for about four months, and that was due to a typical reshuffling, nothing disgraceful or a resignation. Eisenhower literally created the position, so a short-tenured guy makes some sense.

Counterpoint- he might never have ascended to the presidency or be such a chicken hawk if he had actually served in any capacity.

All of his tweets are public record, regardless which Twitter account they're from. @Potus isn't really some hallowed moniker handed down from president to president as dictated by the constitution and subject to legislation. It's literally just a media outlet for the president, and poo poo the president says is subject to the Presidential Records Act.

While we live in upside-down times, it would be the weirdest poo poo to see two lawyers in court furiously arguing over two Twitter handles. :lol:

It's literally just Trump's ego making him keep using his account.
