Now, however, with the backing of outgoing President George Bush, the Navy plans to get women into submarines and avoid mixing with seamen by making two US Virginia class subs consist of all-female crew and officers.

Not before they mentioned two subs manned by two all-female crews, I started to feel strange about what I read...

Joint Cheif's -"Ok sir, to fire your torpedo you press that big red button there.."

Bush- "Hehehehe... this is fun!" *EMERGENCY PROCEDURES SURFACE THE SHIP!*

Joint Chief's- "No not that one!" *Conn, sonar, torpedo in the water bearing 2 3 0!*

Bush- *crying* "Why do they always pick on me, I wanna win!"
