re: Hundreds of Marines investigated for posting naked photos of women recruits

If they replaced Marine with any company in America everyone would be pretty pissed but since it's the Marines it's just "locker room talk"

If your business is killing other human beings, "any company in America" isn't a relevant comparison. That sweet 9 to 5 is exactly like giving your life-and-death trust to everyone within a rock-throwing distance of your own self, right?

What these kids did is very stupid, but unless you've been in that situation, you really ought to shut the frick up about comparing this to any other job.

Kick these kids out, or do what they'd do to those who commit other sexual transgressions and transfer their asses out. Then make sure that no women are anywhere close to a front line combat unit for a decade or more.

It was eminently foreseeable and entirely predictable, yet some sections of the country will get all up in arms when the part of the military that is specifically recruited for and selected against the most aggressive, most testosterone-fueled, most lethal killers that our society has to offer doesn't quite follow the rules of a F500 company or a university administration.
