That's unbelievable how 60 high rank in the Navy could be that naïve.... They supposedly have a training against this kind of stuff. Hope there is not that kind of problem in the Air Force and the Army!
Any party that lasts for days will not only involve alcohol. I'd expect to see reports of heavy drug use soon
Someone should give the Norks advanced notice not to start any wars while the admiralty of the US Navy is investigated...
