I really don't have a "side", I still have a couple of the book's editions.
On the one hand, like I said, I can understand why the underwear got knotted.
On the other hand, back when I wore the funny hat and my dolphins, the annual divorce rate on submarines fluctuated between 95% and 98%.
To put that in context, if you got married on New Year's Eve you would probably be paying alimony by Thanksgiving.
That's one heck of a reward for volunteering for hazardous duty and long hours.
So, if some kids get to understand why Dad was such a dirtbag, maybe that isn't such a bad thing.
