They shoud do the same for the male sailors

That wacky Navy of ours is at it again. They're making skirts optional for female sailors. What a concept! Now all they have to do is make them optional for the male sailors and they can get away from that pesky Village People stigma.
For those who don't know, the Navy made the mistake of hiring the Village People to record a song for their recruiting push back in the disco era. Not that the decision made them the laughinstock of the military (most in the Army would tell you they already were), but it certainly didn't enhance their image.
