I was gobsmacked to hear that two Marine pilots were disciplined for obscenity. I suppose the two pilots could have been made an example of and stripped of their wings, but if such a draconian obscenity policy were to be enacted throughout the corps, then there would only be a small select group left in the Marine Corp, which is not a pretty picture. The purported obscene skywriting looks like a ten gallon hat to me, anyway. The Salton Sea, over which the pilots were flying at the time of the incident, is rather obscene in the eyes of many.
