Why don't you actually go spend a few days in a prison and then you can tell us about the blissful paradise it is.
Umm I wouldnt bet on that...there are several people who manage to ....not get home each year on carriers. Doesnt make the news a lot, but sailors do get raped (men and women) they get beaten robbed and abused....all the things that happen in a small town happen in the small town called an aircraft carrier.

I don't need to spend a few days in prison, the one I toured was quite enough, and the two days in the brig I spen while in the Navy was enough...but on the whole it could have been worse...
[/QUOTE]Stop being pedantic - you obviously see my point. I'm certain there are a lot fewer beatings on aircraft carriers than in prisons - the same is probably true with cases of rape. So to compare the military to prison is laughable.
