Catholic Soldier: Mass Murder Is My Job, But Serving With A Woman Is Too Much For My Conscience

As you may know, Adolf Hitler was a very bad Catholic - he used to
sleep in the same room (and God knows what else..) with woman he was
not married to.

But not all Catholics are like him. Captain Berry is a good Catholic,
who will not let any sinful thoughts distract him from his Christian
duty - killing millions of men, women and children.

Jesus would be proud of him !


OFF TOPIC for rec.aviation.military , probably a lot of others too.

The cross-posting high school children are up late tonight.....Mom and Dad must
be having a bash at the Elks social and there are no adults at home to keep an
eye on the monitor. Oh, well.....maybe they'll get sleepy soon and give us all
a break.

Well, if he can't resist whipping it out and pouncing on the nearest
female, perhaps he can't resist pushing the little red button, either.

Its actually turning a key, but I agree with your premis.

Sounds like he's too unstable for the job, though how anyone who's
stable would take the job of nuking millions of people is beyond me.

Is it? I consider myself stable and I've now served on 2/3 of the triad.

Don't they have cameras watching these people?

Nope, you can even smoke cigars down there in direct violation of the
applicable AFI forbidding it.....at least that's what I've been told

You were also shot down and killed so your stability post-death is
questionable... g

Then-Lieutenant Berry is Roman Catholic and is married. He was
concerned that being in tight quarters such as this for extended
periods of time presented him with an "occasion of sin" which his
Catholic faith requires him to avoid: he was concerned that this
situation could lead to inappropriate feelings of a sexual nature, or
could lead to strong emotional feelings for his partner over time that
might interfere with his relationship with his wife.

Was it the same priesthood that was busy molesting little altar boys telling
him about that ban on the "occasion of sin" stuff?

I hate to think how many newbies on this group will have no idea what you're
talking about.

Has anyone even objectively looked at the data on mixed-gender crews?

Ooops sorry; not allowed under the PC military.

Sad fact is, the man had a point (screwing while on duty, divorce, etc
wise.).

Yes, you make a great point- we shouldn't allow homosexuals to serve in the
silos either.

Yeah, but us "old heads" will get a chuckle out of it, at least I did.

Yes, in the early 80's when they were first introduced on Minuteman crews.
Prior to the gender integration in Minuteman, Titan crews had been integrated
for around a dozen years, however a Titan site was *much* larger than a
Minuteman Launch Control Center and had a 6 person crew.

Sad fact is, the man had a point (screwing while on duty, divorce, etc
wise.).

I completely disagree. If you don't have the self control not to attempt sexual
relations with someone other than your spouse than a.) you should not be
married and b.) should not be certified under PRP which is required to control
nuclear weapons.

I agree with you completely.

But you avoided the point entirely.

The point is not "Can some idealized man or woman work together in close
quarters, alone, for an extended period of time."

Nor was it "Should people entrusted with a leg of the SIOP triad be expected
to behave themselves."

The point is "What happens to real (not theoretical) people when they do."

The numbers show a statistically- and practically- significant increases in
fraternization, infidelity, and divorce.

Yes, we can hold on to our cherished notions of "perfectable man (or
woman)," but in the meantime, we have to work with what we've got.

(if only people who would never stray were allowed to get married or work
around nuclear weapons, that wouldn't leave us with much of a society nor
much of a force, now would it?)
