You do realize that "Jarhead" was a movie?You know, I joined the Navy in 1982, and retired in 2002. During that time, women have been a part of the Navy as far as I knew since then. Women were later allowed to serve onboard combat vessels in the mid 90's, and while there are problems on occasion, most of the people in the military are fairly decent and respectful, but some of them aren't. It's those few bad apples that make the rest of us look bad.
Now, as far as I know, from what I've heard about this story, MOST of the pictures that were posted were pics that women had sent to their boyfriends for personal use. They didn't expect for them to end up on the internet, but sometimes guys get stupid and want to show off the woman they are dating, which is where most of these pics came from. Those pics, I have no problem with, because even though they were thinking they would be kept private, were taken willingly.
The pics I have a problem with is the ones that were taken of active duty personnel without their knowledge. Another problem that I have is that in a lot of cases the name, rank and duty station of the women were posted along with their pictures. That is directly against good order and discipline, because their future as well as current duty stations wouldn't be able to treat her like another Marine, because they would always be picturing them naked.
But, if anyone has seen the movie "Jarhead", they would have seen the "wall of shame" of girlfriends that had dumped the marines that were deployed. Some were naked. Quick question for the Marines, because I've never seen anything like that in the Navy, do you have a real wall of shame you put up while on deployment?
