To quote the Colonial Marines on LV-426 "What are we supposed to do? Throw harsh language them?"
So clearly, the military is aware of the life-threatening consequences "harsh" verbiage.
She did hold him upside down and pour that harsh invective down his throat until he almost drowned, but since we don't consider that torture, it was deemed to be ok.
@sparky: At least that's the upside to his comment. more: http://www.governmentalityblog.com/my_weblog/2009/07/navy-commander-at-gitmo-thinks-verbal-abuse-he-suffered-is-worse-than-the-detainees-.html
I am amazed that our military can successfully wipe its own collective ass if Commander Gordon can't take being told that he's so ugly shirtless that he made her vomit a little in her mouth. (Can we get a pic of this guy to at least have an idea if she has a point?)
I though military officers were supposed to be... you know... tough. Not whiney little bitches who are so damaged that a meaney-face poo-poo-mouth reporter called them bad names that they would compare it to waterboarding.
My 13 year old niece could take this whiner in a fight. All she'd have to do is call him an ignorant fucktard, then while he's weeping inconsolably in the corner she could cut him *and* steal his rims.
@forgetitjake: Reporters, humph. How many of them are really down for some hot ass action anyway? Sure, they look all take-charge with their earnest expressions and furious scribbling in notebooks, but at the sound of a zipper descending, they beg off, claiming they have to be off on "another assignment."
OK, Carol Rosenberg, we get it: you're comfortable wielding a big dildo and you don't take any shit from men. Now check your potty mouth and get back to your job. Also: your Jewish mother is reading this and has just had a heart attack, she's admitted at Cedars right now so get over there.
Commander Gordon, get your flabby self to the Gitmo gym. We don't allow enlisted men not to be hot. Sticks and stones, bitch!
Rosenberg perceived this guy's essential character, without question. How can you doubt it? A crybaby of such monstrous mediocrity and idiocy should be drummed out of the military on general principle. He's a laughable little bureaucratic crybaby. The mirror image of Jack Nicholson's Guantanamo hard-ass. He can't handle the truth: he's barely cut out to be assistant manager at a mall Footlocker. That's why Rosenberg was insulting him to begin with.
And the fact Gawker questions the right of a reporter to be foul-mouthed and belligerent to people of high status is a little sad. This woman's one of the last reporters with balls in the world, apparently.
@urbororr: Well, given that neither you nor I know shit about either one of the people in the dispute, we're withholding judgment. The fact that dude is a crybaby does not rule out the possibility that the reporter is also terrible. We await further info.
@urbororr: Agreed. The poor little Guantanamo Bay soldier is scared of the mean lady reporter? Pathetic. I think you have the wrong angle on this one, Hamilton. We do have further info in the fact that the reporter has been aggressively covering this travesty of a situation for some time - a job that can't be easy, and which certainly colors at least _my_ interpretation of this.
This is insane. What he describes is not sexual harassment. He just doesn't like any suggestion that he's gay. More to the point, what kind of wuss is this Gordon? At worst, her comments sound like something a drill sergeant would say.

@BookishLookish:
I think she just wants to watch. And do the commentary.
