What do you do if you're a woman in the Marines, and you make a sex video, and your fellow Marines see it? Claim you're being sexually harassed, of course!

It seems that a number of female Marines are having sex with male Marines and filming it, and then, when they break up, the male Marines share the sex videos with their comrades. This is said to have provoked a major crisis in the Marines.

Marine officials on Sunday said the branch was looking into a number of Marines, as well as current and former service members, who shared naked and compromising photos of their female colleagues on social media through a shared drive on a Facebook group called Marines United.

"It's Marine Corps wide," said Marine Pvt. Kally Wayne, 22, who joined in 2013 and was removed from the service three years later for disciplinary problems. In early 2016, her ex-boyfriend, a Marine, posted a sex tape they had made in 2013 to a Marines Facebook group, which quickly spread, eventually getting posted on Marines United, which has 30,000 members, where it appeared sporadically.

I guess you could said that her sex tape went v***l. I think they should change her rank from Pvt. to Non-Pvt.

"I went to the police to get them to take it down and they told me because I didn't live in North Carolina they couldn't do anything," Wayne said. "I went to his command and they said, 'Why don't you not make sex tapes?'"

Exactly.

Wayne said she knows at least 10 other women who have endured online sexual harassment.

How is it sexual harassment for other people to view your sex video?

There are more stories like this. The New York Times has the story of a brave Marine who has to endure her comrades watching her striptease video.

"I wanted to make sure I could do anything male Marines could," she said. "I didn't want anyone to hold me to a lower standard."

Later, she was dating a Marine, and when he was stationed outside of Arizona, she sent him a short strip tease video.

The video was soon added to the cache of hundreds of photos and videos of active-duty Marines and veterans – filed with the subject's name, rank and place of duty – that is being circulated by Marines United and other groups.

Herein lies the problem. The problem is not male Marines watching striptease videos of female Marines. The problem is women in the Marines.

Women and men can and do work together in the workplace. But the armed forces are different. Soldiers are stationed in close quarters 24 hours a day. They are often cut off from their husbands and wives, who keep them happy in that special way. In such a situation, you have the perfect recipe for sexual tension that can disrupt unit cohesion.

What happens when sergeants start dating privates and corporals start dating captains? What happens when officers are perceived to be showing favoritism to subordinates they are having sex with, or subordinates are attempting to seduce their superior officers?

This is why having women in the military is problematic at best. The reason these videos were circulated is because female Marines were dating male Marines in their own ranks. It has enormous potential to disrupt unit cohesion.

The viewers of the videos are blameless. The only ones to blame are the unhappy boyfriends who disseminated the videos and the female Marines who made them in the first place. If the worst thing male Marines have done is to view nude videos made by their female comrades on a Facebook page, then I would say the problem of real sexual harassment in the military is close to zero. The problem of unit cohesion, however, is very real.

But instead of having a discussion about the proper role of women in the military, the military is now on a hunt for homemade porn that got on the wrong Facebook page.

Mr Bombastic

Don't make the damn video in the first place. DUH!

It wasn't like that sixty years ago, but then we didn't have the digital technolgy. It was problematic making a phone call from the far east and letters could take several weeks at best. But I think part of the problem is a lower moral fiber of those serving. Physically, probably much better conditioned, but they have been raised in a different moral culture. I cannot imagine a girl I dated who would have been so indiscrete--also cannot imagine I would have treated someone I really cared about in such a manner. Maybe we have to be more selective on how we use the term "hero" or "patriot." A sad day indeed.

Sounds like candidates for Jerry Springer.

Mr Bombastic

LOL! I was thinking the same thing.

Having great sex in public is instinctual.
Nothing wrong with that.
It shows virility to available members of the tribe.
Yes, I said tribe.
If you post activity, it will be viewed.
Ummm no brainier.
It's like ,hey look at me!
And then, What the frak are you looking at.
Make up your Frakin mind.
It isn't like anyone can't see what's happening.

Heroes , patriots, and t*****rs follow the DNA in their genes.
We all do.
We have no choice.
Behavior should not be judged, as it applies to the collective assets of each individual.
Behavior will be judged,as it applies to the assets of the collective.
It is not an issue about being born female or male.
It is a human issue.
There are So many "females" ,and "males"
Whom I would gladly give my 6.
It's not about that.
It's about You.

We had people who got in serious trouble for having 'pornographic' pictures developed at the PX. Things sure have changed in the last fifty odd years.

I pretty much agree with 9th marines.

But this has been taken seriously by the USMC... the Commondont was on the news. He took responsibility and he will do what ever fixing is needed.. And I bet my last dollar, he will see that things are done.

As for women in the Marines. they have been for generations. BAMS (broad ass marines) I bet were in WWll.. we had a lot of them at major bases. But not in mixed unites nor battle.

Has that part been changed?

But the Commondont thinks it reflect poorly on the Corps so fix it is the order..

JW

We also got in trouble for calling them BAMs. WMs was the only acceptable term.

The problem isn't that there are women Marines; the problem is all the damn social engineering making sexual behavioral standards impossible to maintain.

Mr Bombastic

Women should not be serving in combat. They should be raising children. If that sounds sexist, I don't care. That's the way things should be. Not saying that women shouldn't have a career, but they should not be in combat.

JW

I won't argue with you on that one! You are absolutely correct.

Mr Bombastic

Agreement from an unexpected source.

9th Marines

Have no problem with women serving in uniform. My former First Sergeant (60 years ago) married a Sergeant Major. I do not believe their should serve outside the Continental U.S. I remember well the adrenaline rush lads got when seeing a white female in the Far East. Serve in the U.S. in any MOS which will permit one more lad to serve as an 0300 or wh**ever the artillery and armored MOSs were. And don't be assigned MP MOS. This is not sexist; it's common sense which will keep the morale of the Corps where it should be.

Why spread your legs bimbo, if you liked it then and you wanted it, now you change your mind. Sounds like another horror story, f**e news.
