That might well be true, solution? Keep 'it' (swearing, drinking, smoking, and goofing and slurs etc) on the inside, not release it via videos which the public will have, or can have, via leaks, access to.

Why the public cares about events that happened 3-4 years ago and are trying to do something about it now is beyond me. Personally I hope Capt. Honors career continues uninhibited.

i think that the captain is short of a few brain cells to be honest, and surely the few that he has, must have advised him against such 'actions'?
Why should his career go uninhibited? The position he holds alone should be a reason why there should be some sort of 'accountability' for the, and let's be honest here, stupid actions.
Yea sure some people might find it funny or think the guy has a sense of humour, or even agree with his depictions of various acts and portrayals of certain aspects of life. However, that is really not the point here.
And of course a lot of us will use the old "so just because he is in a position of power and trust and responsibility, should he be held accountable for his actions"?
Errm yep, even moreso.
Sorry, but we are all responsible for our actions and if there is no accountability for stupid actions then does that really send out a positive message to others, either in positions of power, right down to us mere mortals who generally look up to these people in some sort of way of respect, trust and belief that these persons were chosen for their positions because they uphold a good sense of morals, respect and decency to our fellow members of society, certainly in public anyway.
Accountability, Accountability, Accountability, can't say it enough.
